The Dayan really isn't that much more expensive than the Diansheng, so I’d just get the Dayan just to be safe.

My very first timed results on FTO.
I like this puzzle, but my brain and hands are constantly revolting...

Hi guys!
I've just learned the beginner's Bencisco method for FTO, and I average around 50s (use to average 45 with nautilus)
I wonder if I should keep practicing until I reached a certain time, or should I learn anything new?
I'm not quite sure what should I learn for FTO in order, so if any of you can tell me it'll be very helpful!
