I don’t agree with this at that point ur OP should be sub 3 and recognised by last f2l pair. And by that point doesn’t make a difference.
I personally don’t meh statements I agree with.
What about trying to get a sub-30 single and it seems like every time the solve gets killed by parity and it turns into a 35?
At your level perhaps there is more of a reason but for someone who is not sub 1 I find it probably not the best use of time. That being said if he wants to learn it I have nothing against it as long as he enjoys it.
While this is true, I don't see a point in really learning OPA. It might just be me though.
It's not really learning anything new, it's more like taking what you know already and making it better. OPA so far has made me more efficient in my center+edge building.
Why? Because it makes you more thoughtful?
Exactly. It's not learning any new algorithms. You do 3bld tracing to wings, and the way it works is that every new cycle you add a number to a counter, and every time you see a oriented wing relative to centers (like W top/G front) you add 1 to the counter, but for a misoriented edge you don't add anything to the counter. After going through all the cycles count any full misoriented edges and if the number of oriented edges are odd the cube is in an odd state and with even oriented edges it's even. And when you solve you are mindful with what moves you do. Also lookahead will be hard at first but then it get's better.
I'm working on that rn. What I learned is that at the beginning of the 1st cycle, I don't count if good left edge/count if bad left edge and then put the edge in BD. That way when I count I don't have to count BD edge.

What I do is that after I see an edge to trace to, I place a finger on it, so that I don't go back to it during memo. After going back to your first cycle and there are edges you haven't traced (you'd know since you didn't place your fingers on those) then you trace those edges and memo is done.
Take both and warmup with one of them on your own. If it feels bad, use the other one.
You got two weeks to choose, don't sweat it. Give each of them an AO100, across four days (give it two days for EACH to try and weed out any potential inconsistencies in temperature, nerve, time, etc) and see which one you do better on. I did this to choose between the Valk M, GTS2M and GAN Air SM and I found I did ever-so-slightly better on the GTS2M (21.08 vs 21.43 for the GAN Air SM and 21.65 for the Valk, respectively).
Lol, you had a gan vs moyu decision too.
