Get the Fangshi Shuang ren when it comes out, or just a Guhong or zanchi or Panshi. But DO NOT EVER buy Lubix, its too expensive, if you live in U.S. then go to a hobby shop and ask for 100weight rc suspension lube with a precision applicator. A 2cc thing of lubix is like $10, and i got a 56cc thing of great lube for $3.67

100 wt suspension lube isn't close to the same thing as lubix. And that username...
 
MoYu HuanYing or Fangshi Shuang Ren? I know they are both new cubes, but I can't seem to find which one is "better".

The Fangshi seems nearly unpopable and insanely quiet while the HuanYing has the best corner cutting abilities I've ever seen. All while both cubes seem to be incredibly fast. So, I'm torn between the two.

I'm currently using Guhong V1 and original plastic Zhanchi as my mains, but I want to branch out from Dayan. I can only afford one, so which is it?

If you have the funds, then just get both. But considering that funds are limited, wait until people can actually say something real about both of these cubes. Very few people, if any, have gotten the mass produced Fangshi ShuangRen, and I believe only prototypes of the HuanYing are floating around. I would wait until there are reviews out that aren't from people that are either affiliated with a cube shop or get free cubes in order to promote them.
 
Crazybadcuber has unboxings and reviews on the mou hung ( or whatever it's called) and the fanshi shuang ren, you should check them out. Also, I was wondering, does anyone know of a good floppy cube? (1x1x3) I've been wanting one for quite some time, but I don't know which one to get.

I would take his reviews with a grain of salt. He tends towards exaggeration, especially when it comes to these new cubes that only he has. That's why I would wait for reviews from cubers not associated with cubing stores if funds are limited.
 
I have a guhong 2 and a zhanchi, both tensioned and lubed the same. Guhong has 48pt edge mod.

The zhanchi turns more freely, especially M and S turns. It takes less effort to turn, but some people find this results in over-turning. Its very clicky.

The guhong is quieter and smoother, but requires more effort to turn. I find it harder to execute finger-tricked PLLs on my guhong, because the M and S layers are harder to turn.

In summary - guhong is quieter and overall smoother, but maybe slightly slower; zhanchi is faster and louder, but possibly slightly harder to control.
