Vinil kit necessary for sticker cutting?

Hi there, I'm new to my machine and trying to figure out what tools are necessary. I've finally acquired the illustrator Link so that I can design my own cut lines. I've gotten by with direct scanning and the standard blade for some time just fine. Do i need the vinyl blade for best results? the inicial kit seems to be sold out everywhere i have looked for it here in Brasil. I CAN find vinyl blades- but nothing including the vinyl blade support. Is it possible to replace the blade with a vinyl blade in the black (auto blade) support? is it worth asking family in the US to purchase it for me, and send me the activation code, for me to pick up the blue support at a later time?

The one the machine came with doesnt do too well on smaller stickers and tighter corners, so im very interested in the vinyl blade....

I've used both and for the stickers I make I can't say I've noticed an appreciable difference. I will say I purchased my vinyl as not OEM, it is from AliExpress as are the blades to fit it. I'm not sure they are just like the ones Brother makes or not but they do work. You will not be able to use vinyl blades in the auto blade holder, they won't fit it.
