Should I buy the MGC 4x4 or the Yuhu megaminx?

@Eli Apperson, I'm doing great with Hoya right now, but I have a problem:
During cross edge pairing, sometimes one or two of the edges are in back slots so I can't see. Then I have to rotate to see where it is, then rotate back and take it out and then put it in the correct position. This wastes a lot of time, so do you have any tips to get faster during cross edge pairing?
I'll record something later to show you, but you don't have to use the rUr' insert for everything. You can thing about it like a white corner price in lbl.

I know that you can put in at least one of the edges like you do a cross, because that won't mess up the centers. Also you'll have to send me the video to my email cuz I can't watch youtube or use google, I'll tell you in pm
 
Solve your 2 opposite centers, blue and green for example, then solve one white, and one red or orange. Then after that you use the yellow and and other messed up center to solve your edges
Oh, I know that, but you can at most only put in one edge. Then for the second edge you have to do r U r'.

I think U2 R2 F R F might be better.
 
Current progress on megaminx 4LLL:
EO: 3/3
CO: 8/16
EP: 3/5
CP: 3/15

Learning sets one by one, the algs I memorized from EP and CP were common cases that I get a lot during my solves.
 
Current average?
Still average around 2:10, but getting sub 2 a bit more commonly. As of now, I use EO and CO pretty frequently in my solves, and rarely use CP as I don't know enough CP algs yet. When I know the EP alg I'll do it, then for CP I would just do the beginner way of taking out the corner then putting it back in where it's supposed to be.
