Is it really worth the extra money?
oh yea lol forgotUbercuber has a wonderful video.
thanksI have Angstrom as well as labs versions of some cubes - it's a tough call, I think if you already have a labs version thats broken in the benefit you'll see in the angstrom version is incremental, but if you're looking for an edge in competition its worth trying. You can also add dignitas to the pieces of labs cubes to smooth out the feel.
One thing I highly recommend: get the angstrom lubes, and start testing them on cubes. They're actually quite forgiving, break in easily, and have a nice effect.

My main 3x3 is a Weilong GTS2M Lite and I have no back up. I intend on buying a new 3x3 as a backup as well as the angstrom wuque. Should I go for the Valk Power M, Valk M, or Gan Air SM? Also, labs versus angstrom for all of these. Another question, although you reccomend the Angstrom Wuque, I have heard controversial opinions on it. Some people, such as UberCuber, say its really slow, while others say its perfect for them. Any idea why its so controversial?LOVE these angstrom lubes, thank you Chris for your hard work / research. I'm on my second set of dignitas / gravitas and running low again. Can't wait for Compound V and X.
i am very good at controlling it, im extremely used to it. i like nearly all cubes, clicky, smooth, (not really a huge fan of super crunchy), etc. I really just want a different feeling cube that could fit my turning style well. I turn pretty aggressively, however i'm accurate.A good backup main should be something you like but is also different than your main. For example, if you feel the GTS2M isn’t right for you in a competition, you may want to use a stabler cube. The Valk M (must be stickerless imo) is a good option for comp jitters, but it’s up to you. The Power M is pretty controversial and the SM is super pricy (especially pro shop (which I categorize under Labs bc setup is same) or Angstrom), but between the two I’d choose the latter. I’ve heard great things about the Angstrom Valk M (and SM in fact), but I’ve never tried it. I’ve tried a Labs valk M, and it’s excellent.
Have you been to a comp? If you haven't, you should go and try some cubes. Its also important to know how you do in compsi am very good at controlling it, im extremely used to it. i like nearly all cubes, clicky, smooth, (not really a huge fan of super crunchy), etc. I really just want a different feeling cube that could fit my turning style well.

ive been to like 10 comps lol, i just havent been to one very recently. and yes i get told this frequently, however sometimes i just dont want to wait. I dont have one in my region for like 3 more weeks.Have you been to a comp? If you haven't, you should go and try some cubes. Its also important to know how you do in comps
does the cubicle version come with the extra nuts?Lol
Then I have little advice I can give other than maybe the SM might be a good option for you. It would seem to fit your style.
also why must the valk m be stickerlessA good backup main should be something you like but is also different than your main.

No. Get the yellow ones.does the cubicle version come with the extra nuts?
Qiyi Plastic is quite hard, and having a stickerless cube makes it much smoother and quiet (imo). Trust me.also why must the valk m be stickerless
