[Help Thread] Puzzle Recommendations

I have practised 4x4 for around a month now (starting with some bad, no-brand cube), and I was averaging around 1:40. I got the Vin cube 4x4 (Ball core, UV) and now I average just under 1:20. I think that the Vin is an extremely high-quality cube, and it is pretty fast. Although it's a bit heavy and I have gotten 2 corner twists during solves, it is still probably the best 4x4 there is. But, I have no other good 4x4, so I guess I don't know too much about it yet. Either way, the Vin 4x4 is great!

I'm looking to buy a new 4x4/4BLD main. I used to main the Aosu v7 Single-Track(not UV), but edge brackets kept popping out until it became unusable(it's currently in pieces). I want a new cube(price £15-£30, but I'm flexible), and it has to have a removable logo so no UV coating. (Quick clarification- if a cube has glossy coating can the logo be removed?) Alternatively, if I get a Vin or Aosu, KewbzUK also sells blank center caps. These are the cubes I'm considering-

Standard YJ MGC
YJ MGC(Magnetic, Micro Actuator, not really sure what that is and how much it helps but I'm keeping it an option)
Aosu v7 Double Track(+ blank center cap)
Vin Cube 4M(Magnetic, glossy)
Vin Cube 4M(Magnetic, UV, ball core)(+ blank center cap)
There's also a ball core Vin Cube without UV(glossy instead), but it's out of stock. @Luke Terzich any info on if this will be in stock any time soon?

I want something that'll be fast and a good cube, but one of my biggest criteria is a cube that won't pop(or pops very rarely) because I think my turning is pretty rough and I have a lot of issues with pops. Also if any of these cubes are recommended specifically for 4BLD(or another cube), that would be a nice bonus. If anybody can give some recommendations or advice, that would be great. Thanks!

Putting aside price differences, how do the Vin Cube and Aosu v7 Double Track compare? Which of them is least likely to pop?
 
The Vin 4x4 is goated, but it takes a while to break in - I lubed it with Lunar (from SCS) and I have done nearly 300 solves on it, and only now it is starting to feel really broken in. But, after the initial out-of-the-box friction and slightly slower turning is gone, then this cube is really good (I'm Australian, and the Vin is around $40 AUD). I have also heard great things from the MoYu AuSu 4x4, but I don't really know what the difference between the single, double, and triple tracks is, and the single track one is the only one under $40 AUD. So, maybe watch some comparison videos on youtube or something like that to find one you might like.

Okay, so I am looking for a budget 4x4 under $40. I learned how to solve a 4x4, but I am not really happy with my rubik's brand. So, what is one that I can get under $40? Thanks!

MGC Elite is quite good

YJ MGC Elite 2x2 (Magnetic)

YJ MGC Elite 2x2 Magnetic is the world's first 2x2 to feature a center-edge magnet design which is really cool! The Elite is the smoothest turning 2x2 in our opinion and the lightweight design is stable and easy to handle. The magnets feel very unique feel due to the center-edge magnets and are...

they don't really make maglev 2x2 but the vin cube is the best bang for your buck; it is 17 USD , has magnetic core, and is uv
 
I can recommend the classic RS3M 2020 and Guhong Pro. No setup required and should suit many turning styles without having too much to adjust.

The classic rs3m is one of the few cubes I truely loathe. The rs3 super and v5 (both standard) both beat out the cube in feel and performance for me. It feels like grinding cinderblocks against eachother no matter how I set it up.

The guhong pro is pretty damn good tho.
