I've got an Agbay too. I don't use it as much as I'd like to, but when I do it's worth every cent I paid. My wedding cakes are perfectly level and each tier is perfectly the same height. The pride of seeing that alone is worth the $$

Alternate method for leveling and torting.
Use a long serrated knife, laid flat along the top of the pans as a guide and cut. This should make your cakes 2" tall (unless you're using W pans which frequently ar eNOT 2" tall).
next, remove the cake from the pan.
Next add 1" of cake cardboards into the pan, and replace the cake.
Repeat step one.

Finally, save those $$ for the Agbay. Ask your family and friends to contribute any birthday and holiday $ to your Agbay fund. Yeah, it's that good.

Leah, thanks for explaining this method of torting. 
I love it and I will try it as soon as I bake a cake.
