Well I know that the Florian mod works wonders for a v4, but the Konsta mod didn't seem to make much of a difference. I might've just executed that mod incorrectly, however.
or maybe my springs are not long enough?
After modding a cube you need to retension, so I wager that is normal, yes
If it is twice the price of an SS it would still be considered cheap by lots of people and have a market.
The thing is that the V5 is already pretty awesome with just a konsta mod. If its twice the price and only a little better I dont see it would have a big market. The X-Cube goes around 35 dollars and often other good 4x4s go at over 20 dollars. Actually I have no idea why the SS 4x4 is so cheap; it might have more to do with the factory and costs rather than with the complexity of the puzzle. Having said this I find it hard to believe that someone could make a puzzle that is better and still cheap enough to be a "better choice".
YJ has been a very cheap company so far so it's hard to say. All I know is that the search for a good 4x4 has been over after the introduction ofKonsta/florian mods to the SS 4x4.
Not everyone can mod cubes and make them better
I'm too afraid to florian mod my shengshou 4x4x4 v5 because I don't want to ruin a great cube.I've Florian- and konstamodded a SSv4 4x4 with a piece of sand paper and a nail file; Konstamod can be done with a single nail file easily in under 60 minutes. So yeah, I'd say everyone can mod cubes and make them better.
