Hi,

First I apologize if this isn't the right place.

The thing is I am planning to order a few cubes(3x3) to experiment with: one that cuts corners well, one that's well-rounder, one that's fast and a good 4x4. So I was thinking of something like: new A-II, new A-III, Dayan GuHong, C-III and Meru/QJ. Please do say if you have any other suggestions ( If it matters to say, I am not a speedcuber —due to my laziness to memorize any algorithm —, as in I am not trying to get sub 20 sec or anything — I've never even been able to solve just logically below 45 sec. Though one gotta appreciate good cubes and I like experimenting with new ubes and methods)

The problem is that after looking through all those sites, their cubes, their shipping methods and the threads about the types of cubes and their descriptions,I got sort of lost and haven't been able to decide. Which shop do you suggest to ship those types of cubes to the middle east in not a very long time ( Hopefully in no longer than two weeks if it can be helped and I am not talking about paying double the price of the cubes to ship them fast >.< ). I know it might be impossible and I might have to concede eventually and order from two stores which I really would like to avoid if possible. Though even if I were to try and substitute a cube with another one that's available at a store I have no idea which and which. So I really need your help plz, I've been looking around for too long T.T

@cincyaviation: would that be that you choose A-V over A-II/A-III and F over C? I see two A-Vs the normal one and the sealed one ( I'd guess that's the new one as hknowstore refers to them as seal, as that's their name ) which one do you say is better? The only reason I didn't choose the F was because pentrixter in his review said that it deteriorates and I didn't know if F II is the same. Dayan Mf8 is the same as Dayan spring right?

Now here is the problem even if I go by the ones you suggested. @ianography: cube4you has F-II,A-V and GuHong but not the Dayan.( And they only show me one option for shipping for where I am right now, Lebanon —@ Fire Cuber: I hope that answers —. They only show me free shipping and I have no idea how long that will take. Probably at least 2 weeks and could take more than 4 as their site says for Air shipping)

Now hknowstore has A-V along with all the new common Alpha cubes A-II, A-III, A-V.. It has F-II (actually it's F seal v.2 but seeing that the F-II on cube4you is sealed I guessed that they are the same (correct me if I am mistaken),it has Dayan Spring and Qj (and the mini one). But they don't have the GuHong. That and their shipping, I am not sure how long it will take to be shipped from Hong Kong.

Lighttake has A-V (and the new A-V), Dayan spring, but no GuHong or any F

..and here I am stuck again >.<
