I will say this, Think about what you are going to be doing and planning accordingly. I got the 9x9 and thought it was a nice size, in truth it is and I haven't had any issues with it... having said that, I do a lot of adult shirts and often the size of the HTV is 11"x3"-12". All that means is that I am doing multiple presses and the hot plate is usually overlapping spots. a 6"x7" would be easier to do multiple presses and not fear I am going to overheat the vinyl or something. In hindsight I should have just got the big dog, but too late now.
As for why not use you iron, it can be fine, it was initially for me save for a few things. )1 I would often notice little divers where the steam holes are on the iron (because they have the hole and little indentation around it, if your iron doesn't then maybe no issue for you). 2) If you have something go south while crafting you may get stuff all over the iron, probably depends on how often you use it. 3) My iron was about $40 at wally world and the plate does not heat evenly, I don't know how hot it is getting, and the hottest part is the point, which makes for a much more inconvenient time pressing.
A good iron runs about this price, so why not get one with more even heating, built in temperature dreading and timer? I did about 15 shirts before I decided to treat myself with the easy press and since I've done about 30 more. I love it!
That's like saying a knife does multiple jobs so I'm not buying a vinyl cutter, scissors, more than 1 knife, a razor... Go look in an average woodshed and see how many saws there are... but maybe you don't really get into hobbies that use multiple types of the same thing. Sorry, I should just say go away troll; you come in here with the only intention of crapping on the thread, I'm sure there is an apple thread missing you.

Would you recommend holding out for a 12 x 10 deal if no rush?

Does one need any additional items to get started? A heat mat? Vinyl? Amazon has all these items as a what others bought with this item.
I have a 15"x15"...... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0043H9F...Y6xg
best purchase I have made aside from my Cricut when it comes to crafting. As mentioned before..... adult shirts are typically close to a 12"x12" htv cut. This is something I chose to spend a little more on and it paid off. It pays for itself over time.
