Isn't the Rubik's DIY $10.99 or something? It's not much more expensive. Anyway, I own a DIY from cube4you. It's quite ok, but I have not laid my hands on a Rubik's DIY as yet, so I can't comment. However, based on what I've read, some good cubers think Rubik's DIYs are better than cube4you's for some reason. The only problem I have with cube4you's DIY is the gradual tension of the spring i.e. long and soft spring as compared to a short and more rigid spring. I'm not sure how Rubik's DIY springs are though.

Anyone care to share their experiences with various DIYs?

Thanks. =)
