How good is the Haiyan-Memory

http://cubehaiyan.com/product_167.html

I want a new cube for CUBEcentric (who's going, by the way? my fellow canadian friends.)

ALSO, if this cube is good, is it better than the white type a that cube4you sells? I used to have the old type a i believe, but i uh.. kinda.. lost it in a lake. :fp

Thanks in advance.

I'd rather buy an A-V and mod it. =) I love it.

LOL @losing the type A

Haiyan memory is just a modded A5, but it is better than the A1 in my opinion. 1 thing though, YOU MUST BREAK IT IN!!! to get it awesome. lol Most people are probably going to tell you to get an F-II though.

If I were to buy a new cube right now, which one should i get? and is this new haiyancube site the place to get cubes? Because I've noticed that cube4you has almost no selection anymore.

@first post: told you someone would say that.

i cant find an F II on popbuying, could someone give me a link? if its not too much trouble

If you have the money, why not go for the memory?

I genuinely think the memory is the best cube I've tried. When I got it, my personal best dropped by over a second in a couple of days, and my average by two or three. At the end of the day, it's just a cube (and a darn expensive one at that) but I really get on with this cube and wouldn't think about using any other. As for breaking it in, I was surprised by how much Hiayan had broken it in before it got to me! It was great right out of the box.

As for alternatives: A lot of the guys here rave about the F II. I'm starting to think that I didn't give it enough of a chance (It's in pieces now, mixed with a few other cubes for hybrids) but I thought it was a bit too...cheap feeling. Having said that, there's a forum full of people who disagree with me, so...

You could get an A V and mod it yourself, but who knows if that will work out as well as a Hiayan modded A V? Maybe it will, maybe it won't. He has modded dozens of these, after all. Alternatly, you could wait a week or so and get the new Alpha V mold when it's released. Again, however, who knows how good this will be? I'm really looking forward to trying this cube out and comparing it with my Hiayan memory.

I think my advice is, if you have the money to spend, go for the memory. I haven't found a single bad review and I personally think it's fantastic. If not, perhaps an F II is your best bet.

Here's the F II in black and white.

If you want an F-II before a certain event, don't order from popbuying or you'll never know when you're getting it. I ordered mine from http://www.speedcubeshop.com/apps/webstore/
I put in a special request for where to ship different than my paypal and the service and response was great. It got to me the same week I ordered

hhmmm....memory...wow..in my opinion, only a failure, too much noise....I have a small child, after 08 pm I can not use the memory
last, but not the least,
it will be a coincidence, but I am very well in blind with memory

Yeah, what's up with cube4you? They don't have the selection that they used to have anymore.
