Difference in DIY Cubes (The Quality)

I was looking at the DIY cubes from cube4you and I was looking at some comments about them. I know that type a is the best but does the color of the cube (white, green, orange) make any difference in the quality and speed? I'm just wondering because I heard about it.

Type A = Best
Type B = Worst
Type C = Moderate

I heard that the different colours are made from different plastics (Harder or softer, depending), but I don't know how that affects quality or speed. Type a's are definitely the way to go though.

Please search the forums before asking questions. Not to be mean, but there are already posts with all the info (and maybe more) that you are looking for.

I was looking for the answer in the puzzleproz-forum and it says that the color affects neither the quality nor the speed of a DIY, if it's the same type.

I have a yellow one, and I survived... So you can become a sub 20 guy with other colors.

Okay because the thread below says that green and white DIYs are better....

I've always been rather skeptical of claims that different colours are better people said that whites/blue/green were better than black or whatever. It's conceivable that if they were made of a different plastic they might be better but it would be slight.

I think it's far more likely that people think they're better because people so widely believe this. Just like people say bottled water tastes better than tap but if you did a double blind test (I did this once), they would not be able to tell the difference (infact I could make them say the tap was bottled by serving it chilled)
