The ergonomics of the cutter is absolutely great. It does not put strain on either your hand or wrist-- and I got issues with both.
That said, to get the cutter to work best, you need to hold it exactly right, completely perpendicular to the mat. If you hold it right, it takes very little pressure to cut and you hear/feel almost a tissue tearing sound as you cut. Although this might sound awful (learning curve, got hold the cutter right) it's actually good b/c this means that you won't dig gouges out of your mat and your mat will last longer- so win all around. The bigger cutter (60 mm) is good for cutting batting and other thick stuff. 45 really works just fine for everyday stuff. I have yet to try cutting out non-quilt sewing projects with a rotatory cutter (ie, a dress, shirt, etc).
