For the price point of some of these, I'm also considering the 11M pro as an alternative. If the 11M pro is better than either the V9 or YS3M, but has a different feel to the V3, I'll get that and the V3. I'm still undecided on the V9 vs YS3M, and I'm going to wait a bit anyway, so maybe there will be more reviews about the V9 that help me make a decision.

In that case I recommend WRM v9 + Moretry Tianma x3 Snap

Well, now I have a lot of research to do, this gives me something else to look into.

 

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

Thank you! I was kind of leaning towards getting the V3 and either the super or the YS3M. Do you think it's worth it to get the UV coated YS3M? I've never tried a UV coated cube before, so does it actually help or is it just unnecessary?

I do actually recommend getting normal plastic and glossy-shining it with paper. Plus, the WeiPo WRS is better than the 251 M Pro in my opinion.

For 2x2, I recommend the YJ MGC Elite over the WeiPo WRS and the 251 M Pro.

 

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

I guess it depends on what feel you are going for. The WRS is extremely variable depending on setup but the MGC Elite and the 251 both feel good in their own way (crunchy and fast vs smooth, airy and even faster). WRS is still the cheapest even with all its features at only around $14 for everyone except for @Fukuoka Kengo James where it is like $2.50

I would really want to try the Weilong V9 and try to recommend it but I would probably not main it because of the corner twist issue. My finger-tricks have a lot of index pushes which causes lots of twists. Tbh just get a GTS3M

I recommend swapping the corner internals with YS3M for WRM v9.

This is still slightly overpriced even if you are talking abt the UV GAN 13 Maglev

 

[Mrzix]

Ok. It’s just in the uk it’s selling for 80+ pounds and my parents said it’s my only chance to buy it and I don’t want any regrets.
Is there any difference in performance between them?
thanks for you comment btw

where?

 

[Mrzix]

On somewhere called Taobao but it’s in yen but I can get it cuz my grandparents get it from China.
pits around 300 yen which is like 35 pounds

I guess you mean RMB yuan, coz yen is the currency in Japan while Taobao is from China made by Jack Ma (and he has just become an honorary professor of my university returning from Tokyo to Hong Kong). I think the price is still somewhat reasonable imo.

Regarding on whether you shd get the GAN 13, as I have never tried a GAN 13, I can’t really tell about it. However, I have tried both GAN 11 & 12, and I can tell you that any version of GAN 12 are just way better than GAN 11. GAN 12 maglev is slightly better than the GAN 12 leap tho. Tbh the GAN 11 is just overrated at least for now (I guess it was kinda influential tho when it was first released)

I don't have the Gan, but if you can afford it, get it. Even if you find out later it's not for you, you can sell it to recoup the cost. This beats wondering perpetually whether you had missed an opportunity.

Yeah, sorry I mean rmb yuan i have just got in the habit of saying yen. i have decided on buying the cube because like finityniner said, if I buy it I probably have no regrets. Thanks!

In terms of price value, would a Flare 2x2 or the MGC be better?

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

u mean mgc or mgc elite

 

[erictom333]

For 5x5 and 6x6 (and 7x7 if I want to get something better than my current Meilong), is it worth it getting the MGC over the cheaper YuChuang/YuShi/YuFu? I've heard YJ's big cubes are very good, and I'd like to get the best value for my money because I don't want to spend too much money on cubes (and there are other non-WCA puzzles I'd like to get, like FTO).

 

[Mrzix]

I think the cheaper yj cubes are a bit smaller but still magnetised. Jperm says that the 5x5 is good for ppl who have small hands but if u want to get really into big cubes like 6x6 or 7x7, I would get the moyu bunch but they are quite a bit more expensive. I would say that the Mgc is good for big hands and the ’yu‘ bunch are good for small hands

There's no real size difference between any of the cubes (at least according to DailyPuzzles), and I don't really have a problem with the size of the 66mm Meilong 7x7.
