AoFu or SS mini 7x7? The price isn't really an issue and i don't mind pillowed cubes, but which one turns better?

Moyu Aofu if you are willing to pay $45
My questions:
1) Is Liying good for OH or the 55mm Zhanchi or the 54.5mm Weilong?. I am 55 secondish for OH.
2)Does the SS 5x5 have internal pieces?

I don't think there are any other good 2x2s coming out. For 3x3, I recommend trying the AoLong.

I am getting into OH and would like to get a comfortable cube. The Chilong that I use has rough corners, causing my pinky to get cuts while doing R'. Should I get the 55mm Zhanchi or the 54.5mm Weilong/Aolong? I can only get one cube for now so which is the best choice? Would 0.5mm make any difference?. My pinky is about 5.2 cm in length and my left hand is 11cm long(from where fingers start) and entire hand is 16cm(From wrist). I average around 1 minute on OH.

Nice video! Here's my problem: is dayan zhanchi 42mm ok for me? My hand width is about 3 inches and my hand length is about 6.5 inches.

Are you planning on using this cube as your main 2-handed 3x3 or for OH? If you are planning on using it for 2-handed I would highly recommend against it. The 42mm Zhanchi although a good cube is very, very small. I myself have small hands (roughly 2.5 wide and 5.5 at the longest point) and the smallest cube I would use is a 50mm cube.Nice video! Here's my problem: is dayan zhanchi 42mm ok for me? My hand width is about 3 inches and my hand length is about 6.5 inches.
Which puzzle to buy next?
I'll apologize ahead of time. This is my first post and I'm a complete newb. If I'm posting in the wrong forum or if this has been answered before, please direct me to the right place.
A friend of mine has cubes ranging from 2x2 up to 7x7 solved and sitting on a shelf in his office. I bought a megaminx and a master skewb. Knowing that he's a bit obsessive, I scrambled them, snuck into his office, and put them on his shelf. I thought this would be a fun joke for when he returns from vacation. I know it will drive him nuts having those unsolved in his office.
So, my question is, the next time he's on vacation, what would be a good puzzle to use for another joke? My understanding is that the master skewb and megaminx are quite different from what he's used to. What would be the next step up in difficulty or require a much different method to solve? These are the ones I've been considering:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LL37VH0
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009L8RNWK
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CLKYQXO
I'm open to any suggestion, as long as the price isn't too crazy. Thanks for the help!

Please Help! Which Zhanchi?
Hello, this is my first time using the forums on SpeedSolving, so I dont know if I am doing the right thing... But anyway! I just had a question as to "what is the difference (mods, lube, specs, etc.) between the Normal Dayan Zhanchi, Silk Zhanchi, and Force Cube Zhanchi. Also, please tell me your opinion on which one is the best by ranking them from 1-3. Thanks!

Thanks. I'm guessing I can't go wrong with either of them, but it's always nice to have a recommendation
there is no best it's just down to personal preference, the only difference is different lubes etc and minor mods to the mech like rounding edges etc.
@ninja, you can't get the zhanchi silk anymore and if you want a force cube, buy 6 stickerless cubes and make them, tha's the only way to do it.
