The new speedcube I should get

Hello all, here we are to discuss about the best suitable speed cube a cuber should get based on the parameters of the feel of the cube, the speed of the cube, loudness, basic features (price, size, maybe even the brand, etc), speed of the cuber, corner-cutting, lock-ups, pops, and pretty much everything else that concerns the matter.

well, i need a recommendation. I myself am a 20-23 second solver, and I'm on the scope of improving. I currently have a DaYan ZhanChi, but I just don't like the feel of it in particular, nor the very minor lock-ups (due to the frequent misalignment of the layers) that ruin the fluidity of my solve. The cube I have in mind is a MoYu WeiLong. Although I've heard that it may be a bit too fast for me as a 20-23 second solver, but I would rather get it, play around with it and then adapt to it. Now, do correct me if I'm wrong, and if I am wrong, give me a recommendation that would suit me best.

the statistics I would like a cube is based on:
1) Feel
2) Speed
3) Shouldn't be too loud
4) Corner-Cutting
5) Lock-Ups
6) Pops
7) Price, not more than 14.50 USD
8) Size

thanks everyone!

Well, you haven't given nearly enough info. Your turning style, method, or even what you LIKE in your zhanchi. There is no particular cube to get a a certain speed. Just get a weilong if that's what you have in mind. You will adjust to it.

I understand what you're asking.

Get the Weilong (v1 or v2--I prefer v1), the Shaung Ren V2 (which may be too loud and a touch lock-y), or try to find one of these people that hated the Gans 357 and bargain for it. Aolong is pretty quite too. My favorites are the Gans and the Weilong V1.

Still, in my experience, the Zhanchi is the quietest among them.

You really shouldn't worry about a cube being 'too fast.' You will adapt and adjust. As well, play with the tensions and lube until you get it right.

If I were you, I'd search. If you really search, you can find either the Gans 357 or the Aolong V2 at your price point.

Im looking for a new OH-cube (I am mainly solving oh, avg 45.xx 2/5 OLL full PLL). I've tried many cubes, got a normal guhong, stickerless guhong FII and a AlphaII. I switched alot between them but neither of those really got the feel I am 100% satisfied with. Hope someone has a good suggestion, I might order 3 at once :)

You will never be 100% satisfied.
