MGC versus Nezha

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

Which 5x5 is the best for its price?
SCS has the Nezha at $25, so I don't know which one to pick

Nezha is better if you ate willong to pay a bit extra, but if you don't mind SLIGHTLY worse performace for 8 quid less. then definitely get the MGC.

I will preface this by saying that I don’t really set up my big cubes and I am not the most accurate turner.
The Mgc turns well and I enjoy it. The nezha has much more premium feeling turning, but it catches SO MUCH. I honestly can’t solve on it with how obnoxious the catching issues are.

MGC is the best performing and feeling 5x5 I know of, except maybe the Valk 5

I’d get the mgc. I use a coremag mgc5. The Nevada is also nice with a very light weight feel. It’s a good cube but you’ll need accurate turning bc the reverse isn’t that good. Also worth noting the caps on the centers fall off easy

Honestly, tightening the tensions on the Nevada Nezha would fix a lot of catching and, however counter-intuitive it seems, the reverse cuts. I would just glue the center caps on, personally.

That doesn't fix the reverse cutting. All you're really doing is making it slower and more controllable, thus increasing your turning accuracy. Tightening a cube always reduces corner cutting bc the cube can't expand as much.

It would decrease pieces flexing and sliding past each other, which is why I say that the corner cutting may get better to a point, and the stability would be better when reverse cuts do happen.

So basically, MGC? Unless I want terrible reverse corner cutting?
