60cm porcelain wall tiles

[Twotanks]

Hi everyone - I'm doing a bathroom next week. Client has 60cm porcelain tiles that are too big for my Sigma 5a.
Would I be better getting a wet saw or buying another Sigma to take the longer tile?

TIA

Just finished laying some 60 x 30 porcalins myself (used a rubi ts60). Walls were out my a mile, put a big spirit level against the wall and could slide my hand under some of the gaps they were that out.
But yeah get a bigger cutter you don't really want to be putting tiles that size through a wet cutter for every single cut.

Thanks chaps - a bigger cutter it is then!

Went for the Sigma 4a and picked up the last Plasplugs Master Tiler in N.I. B&Q. Had to drive a long way to get it but it seems good value at £79. Pity the Sigma wasn't as cheap.
