Which one should I buy? Why?
If Guhong should I get stickerless?


Thanks. :)


I have already narrowed it down to these two so try not to suggest another cube unless you have a very good argument. ;)
 
Get the Dayan Guhong, the Lingyun pops extremely easily if you don't adjust it properly.
The Dayan Guhong is much more stable in terms of pops comparing to the Lingyun.
It is smooth while the Lingyun has a clicky feeling that some cubers find annoying.

If you're in Canada, then you can buy it at:
http://www.vendio.com/stores/BCCubeShop

Otherwise,
www.speedcubeshop.com
www.cubedepotusa.com
www.lightake.com
are some other places that has it.

Hope this helps!

I was leaning more towards the Guhong from the beginning but you sealed the deal.

Thanks for the input.

You could just do what I did. Put your Guhung core in your Linyun and your Linyun core in your Guhung. They become godly, they don't pop even when they are ridiculesly loose, and there really fast even when they are tight.
 
Depends on your method, and your style, in my opinion.

That being said, I don't have a Lingyun (only Guhong), though I plan on getting one some time.
I've heard from most Roux solvers I've come across (both online and in reality) they especially like Lingyuns (I have no idea what's the reasoning for this. Maybe coincidence), though most people tend to prefer the Guhong.

But, yes, the general consensus is that the Guhong is better because the Lingyun pops too much.

I got both of them. I prefer the feeling and speed of the lingyun (and it doesn't pop at all with my tension settings), but the real lingyun problem for me is that it is slightly smaller than other cubes. I mean the difference is ridiculous but it seems that myu hands really feel it and it's really anoying. Plus I always overshoot on it.

That's why my main is a guhong and I use my lingyun for OH.
 
Both cubes are very good and the difference is mainly in personal preference, which means you'll have to try both. Instead of Lingyun you could get the Lunhui, though. For me it feels exactly like the Lingyun, but has a mechanism to prevent pops. And it works (the antipop thing i mean).
