Default Susan Tierney Cockburn paper-flower dies by Sizzix

These flowers are beautiful to behold. They are not recommended for the Grand Caliber machine (which I own) and I don't see why. I am hesitant to spend the money if they don't work. Can anyone advise me on whether or not I can use them in the GC. Thanks.

Did anyone say why they are not recommended for the Grand Caliber?
The GC is not listed as a recommended machine on the die package either
The only recommended machines are Sizzix machines. The Cuttlebug is not listed either

I generally use my Cuttlebug for the Susan Tierney Cockburn flower dies, because the plates are small.
I just tried the mini petals with my GC and it cut just fine.

The only problem I had is the pressure in the GC is high and I used a scrap of purple CS so I had to do some vigorous scrubbing with my tooth brush and water to get the embedded purple fibers out of my cutting mat. :(
