Really interesting how different Cameron and Jesse's comments were on this puzzle!
I think Cameron may have old style turning that doesn't work with really light and loose puzzles. Though recent GAN cubes have been like that, though more stable.

This came out of nowhere! Unfortunately looks like it will have the same annoying packaging as the 8x8.

Yeah - from two very highly respected cubers. Goes to show how big an impact personal preference has.
Respected as content creators, not as high level cubers (especially not for big cubes). But I get the sense Cameron doesn't have impressions that are too general because he didn't set up the cube and solve with it enough. For some reason I get the feeling Andy Mok spent more time with the cube

Tried out the Dayan Nezha 5×5×5 for a bit in the afternoon. I'm way too out of practice on 555 to give a proper verdict, plus I wasn't going to spend three hours at the shop busting out an ao50, but:

1. Too loose out of the box. Pops and lockups happen a lot. On the flip side, lockups aren't too hard to fix either.
2. Magnets (in the standard version) aren't especially strong, and there isn't a pronounced magnetic click like on, say, the MGC. I don't mind this (hi I still main a Tengyun v1 for 2H), but if you really like feeling the magnets snap into place, you're not going to get that from this cube.
3. The caps of the t-centre pieces are prone to coming off. You may have to glue them in if you want to main this cube, lest you get two centre caps come off during a solve and DNF it.
