What puzzle(s) should I get next?

So, I have $20 that I want to spend on one or two puzzles... but I don't know which one to get. Here are some puzzles I would like and their prices, and I was wondering for some advice on which one to get.
DaYan Crazy Cube Saturn ($20)
DaYan Vertex Turning Octahedron ($18)
Sunshine 1x3x3 ($6)
FangShi ShuangRen ($10)
MoZhi Pyramorphix ($9)
MoYu Crazy Fisher Cube ($9)
Lanlan Stickerless Trajber's Octahedron ($11)
YJ Wheel Cube ($5)
Lanlan Curvy Copter ($13.50)
YJ Axis Cube ($7)
Lanlan Super Skewb Ultimate ($12)
YJ Fisher Cube ($10)
Lanlan Gear Minx ($13)
Lanlan Gear Mastermorphix ($13)
C4Y 3x3x7 ($14)
Diansheng Double Fish Cube ($13)
Diansheng Blade Cube ($12)
Lanlan Rex Cube ($12)
Shengshou Snake ($4)
Lanlan Rhombic Dodecahedron ($14)
Meffert's Gear Ball ($19)
Thinkmax Gear Cube ($8)
Cubetwist Master Magic ($9)
Lanlan Gear Octahedron ($19)
Lanlan Rhombic Icosahedron ($13)
Lanlan Painting Mask ($16 [yes, this is a puzzle xD])
Lanlan Tetrakaidekahedron ($4.50 [Also a puzzle. I have a lot of weird ones on my wishlist :P])

Remember, you can suggest puzzles I don't have here, but these are the ones with fast shipping on Amazon. :D
 
I've not tried most of them. I have a Pyramorphix, which I don't use very often, since it's not very easy to turn (it's not slow, but it has bad corner cutting as well as bad reverse corner cutting, so there are a lot of lockups). The other one I've used is the ShuangRen, which is a great cube and is my main.

What I might do would be to get several of the cheaper puzzles; some of your puzzles on that list are $20, and you could get two or three of the other puzzles for the same price.

E: also... isn't the poll a bit unrelated?
also the ranges you've chosen aren't great for a 2x2 poll; one second is a huge difference, so 5 second groups don't make much sense as options

Cube for a picky cuber?

Ok, so most people, you give them an Aolong v2 or a Weilong, and they're good to go, right? They love the feel, the speed, mechanism, ect.

Well not me.

I have felt all three of Moyu's flagship 3x3's (Aolong V2,Weilong, Hualong) And each of them had their problems that I just couldn't get over.

Aolong:
Pops. Pops, and corner twist. Nuff said.

Hualong:
I disliked the feel. Very unplesant to turn for me. Also the corner cutting lacked the amount I wanted on the tensions I like.

Weilong:
The best out of the three IMO, the cube was just too blocky and lacked the flowing feeling when turning.

All negativity aside, these are great cubes for some, but idk if moyu is for me. The only cube I've really enjoyed was YJ Yulong, which I LOVED the feel of, and could cube with forever. However corner twists are a bit of a problem.

Basically, I'm looking for the feel of a Yulong, that doesn't corner twist much, has corner cutting that lives up to today's standards, and is controlably fast.

The reason I'm asking is because I sold my Weilong and Yuxin (main, and backup) and I'm looking for a new main. I know for sure my backup will be a Yulong though. Do you guys think a Cong's design cube would be good? I just really want to know what you think a good main for me would be. Thanks.

Aoshi and SS 6x6 have some competition because a broken in Aoshi is really good according to some people
but most people use Mini SS 7x7

So what do you want rather than what you don't want.

The crazy fisher cube is a good choice. Good quality!

Good idea, but I'd find it a bit weird to have that and not the regular one. It's a good choice though. I'm interested to see what you would say about the YJ Fisher Cube.

Okay, so not the Pyramorphix. The ShuangRen is a possibility, but I'm more of a collector type of person, and I already have the NewIsland Phoenix. That's not to say I don't want it, I tried one out at a competition and I loved it. If I feel like I really want it, I'll get it. (Also, that thing about my poll... this was moved to a different thread, so the poll doesn't exist anymore. :3)

Yulong (or any other YJ cube) is still good. If you want something newer, the Cong's Design cubes are probably the closest feeling.
 
4x4 Rubik's isn't good?

I'm new to this site and I don't know if it's just for the 3x3 or not, but I just got a Rubik's brand 4x4 cube and...it doesn't turn very well. I've read online that people say that Rubik's isn't a very good brand but...they sort of...well...invented it? Do I just need to play with it more to get it loose?

Any answers would be great.
