Need Advice Immediately - What 4x4x4 Buy?

Isn't YJ 4x4x4 just a V-4 Knock off? (Which is a bad thing to buy, fyi.)

Or am I mistaken?

I have a full size QJ 4x4x4, which is better than the mini hardware-wise in my opinion, but is a little too big. Well, it isn't really, but my 3x3x3 would be faster with a mini.
 
VERY IMMEDIATELY - MINI QJ CUT CORNERS???

I must buy an 4x4x4 cube that CUT CORNERS.
Mini QJ does that?

Need Immediately ANSWER.


THANKS
 
mini qj has really good inner slices and cuts corners well... yj however, has much better outer slices. Almost feels like a good 3x3. the inner slices aren't too great on it, its fairly clicky like the v-6

and yes, its a v-cube KO... so if you don't support KO's don't get it.. but I bought it. If v4 was out I wouldn't have, but alas, it isn't
 
I was thinking about buying a 4x4 too. I own a Mefferts 4x4 and it's great but the only problem is that the corner pieces snap off after some (ab)use and it's kinda annoying asking for a replacement piece every once in a while. Is the QJ better than the mini version in terms of smoothness since I don't care that much about corner cutting. And is it the same size as the Mefferts?
 
I bought a 4x4 from popbying.com, the #24169 and when I received it I was so impressed that I bought 3 more. I am not use with terminology so I am not sure how to name it, but with the number you will find it quite easily on there site.

It is 60mm and it cuts corners (up to angle similar to my V5). The best 4x4 I ever had.


Edit: Also, the cube is surprisingly cheap.

That's a MiniQJ.
 
Immediately - 4x4x4

Im VERY CONFUSED.
The order is not only for me, so I can't take the risk.
This is very Immediately, I have to order it tomorrow (a lot of cubes).

I'm looking for 4x4x4 that cut corners well,
you told me QJ, MiniQJ, YJ.

Later you told me Mini QJ doesn't cut corners, YJ is a Knockoff and more.

In ONE DECISION, WHAT TYPE TO ORDER FROM POPBUYING?

FINAL ANSWER, TOMORROW ORDER.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

QJ === Meffert's

mini QJ tweaked the pieces a bit so it does not break as easily. the inner circle is larger so there is more space for reinforcement of the individual pieces. however it made the center piece thinner than the original 4x4 so there may besome lock-ups once in a while. other than that it's a perfect cube.

YJ 4x4 is a 4x4 with the V-cube mechanism, see it here and decide for yourself.

Mini QJ is a 6cm ball core mechanism 4x4. It is ver smooth and the outer layers are brilliant. This cube cuts about 1 piece. I would recommend this one.

Mine cuts corners and for what I understand from this forum is that it is very popular. I think I saw a video on youtube with Erik Akkersdjik using a miniQJ at world championship 2009, but I cannot find it now. If he use it, then...

I do not know about YJ, but I can garantee you that miniQJ is a very good and safe deal.


Edit: I found the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVlz6lu9G0Q
