Fangcun. Although without dayan hardware it's meh at best.

I pick Zhanchi because it was the original and the original plastics were very nice. The Fangun cube did not have that and the zhanchi is to the Camcuber`s Zhanchi. One of the best puzzles out there. (My opinion)

They are both nice, If you have the money I'd suggest you go straight to Zhanchi, But FangCun is fine anyway (much better if you change the hardware to DaYan!), but, nothing beats the Original zhanchi! You can't go wrong with either of these two anyway.

For the hardware, do I just switch the core and screws and springs, or all that plus the actual centerpieces too?

Just wondering, why is the lingyun better?

Simply out of personal preference and that it has a soft crispy feel.

I replaced mine with the DaYan screws/washers + core only

That's what I did. Works like a charm.

I prefer guhong v1

I agree with Emolover, Lingyun is a beast. If lubed properly it does amazing performance and it is a bit faster than my Zhanchi.

Personally I love my GuHong v2. This cube and my zhanchi are the same preformance wise, but I like the feel of the Guhong v2 better. Personal preference I guess.

thats's my current main, but i wanted to try something new for fun.

ok thanks. i have a v1 guhong right now, but i was kinda P.0.'d at the pops. is the v2 with the torpedoes so much better at not popping like everyone says?

I am not going to say that is is UNpoppable, but pops are minimal it will really not pop, maybe 1 in 100 solves if you tension it right. Just beware that the v1 and the v2 have very different feels, the v2 is crispier but very smooth after lubrication. If you over lube the either the v1 or v2 it will be the worst cube ever, trust me.

i already know from experience about the over lubricating trust me haha. but thanks for the input. i think i'll try that one out at sometime, soon hopefully. sounds about exactly what im looking for.

Guhong V1

 

[skittlez350]

imo, the best is the lingyun v2

+1 , It's really good, I owned this cube since last year and it's my main and it popped on me only once, so, torpedoes are really a good help and it didn't slowed the cube that much, it's still fast as the original GuHong
