CCR and Expression 2

I love all the buzz about the new Cricut Craft Room and the Expression 2.  I've been reading everything.  I was tempted to get the E2, but I have decided against it for now.  My wish list for PC's CCR:  the ability to freehand images, to use my computer's fonts, to use it offline, and to be able to purchase single images.  I will not be getting rid of my Silhouette soon.  I don't pay a fee to use the Silhoutte software, they have free upgrades, and I can find free cutting files on the net.  My only problems:  the cutting mat is not as large, and I don't use a laptop, so when I cut everything must move to the computer room.  I guess to sum it up, I love both the cricut and the silhoutte!
