I haven't had any problem with the new one. I have 3 stamp sets that use it, but maybe used it ten times so far. It seems to line up just right with the stamps.
When I try to decide what tools to spend my $$ on, I try to estimate how often I will use it in the year, and divide into the total cost to get cost per use (can you tell I am a retired engineer?). I also think about whether it is a fad, or will be used with new stamp sets - this has kept me from buying the really cute owl set.
I can't wait to order the 1"square punch in the upcoming Holiday mini - it will help me use those jolly jingo bits and other small stamps more effectively.
Hope that helps.
