Here's a 2:00 and a 2:08
Not completely sure if the embed is working because I'm at school; here is the actual link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMPAapxmOns
Where to buy: Champions cube store, 51 more fun. In my opinion the store is very reputable. I E-mailed champion and he responded to my E-mails quickly (just e-mail him, don't do the contact form on the site), from what impressions I've gotten, he is the type of person who will work with you to fix any problems.
First Impressions: The Shengshou does not misalign!!!! This is easily the most important part about the cube and you need to know this immedietaly. The Shengshou 6x6 is definitely better than the V-cube out of the box, mostly because V-cubes suck out of the box. The Shengshou doesn't really need too much breaking in, and all I did to mine was clean out whatever lube was in it originally and put jig-a-loo and maru in it, which I do for all my cubes.
Overall opinion: I am probably going to end up using my V-cube at worlds. I want to avoid telling you which one is "better," since in this case they are actually probably close enough in speed that many people will have different opinions, especially since the quality of modded V-cubes vary. However, my fully modded, competition V-cube I would have to say is better than the Shengshou, but not by much. I'm averaging about 2:02-2:05 on my V-cube and I think 2:08 on my Shengshou.
If you're serious about getting good 6x6 or big cube times, I would definitely recommend getting and modding a V-cube, it's worth the money and effort and they can turn out to be really good cubes. However, if you're O.K. with adding a few seconds per solve, the Shengshou is a cheaper, non mod intensive cube to have. (Please not that the cubes are very similar in speed, so please watch the video to develop your own opinion, and If you really want to make sure, it's really neccessary to compare them both, especially since not all cubes are the same.)
(I'll ad more details when I have time. In short, the Shengshou has great centers, and O.K. edges. )
