Default need help deciding on a vinyl cutter

I'm wanting to start my own t-shirt business. I have a heat press and a lap top and I am looking for a good type of vinyl cutter. I need a good brand, but something cheap! I'm thinking I can spend about $500 for a decent cutter. Do all cutters work the same, is it the cutter or the software that makes a good design? Can someone help me out please? Thanks.

I also bought A USCutter Laserpoint from ebay, the overall quality of the machine is OK, but not near as good as a Graphtec or Roland, I also was in the same finacial situation as you.
The new emerging problem is actually with USCutters support. Please see the following thread:
