Will the front page be updated? Is that still the recommended list of cubes?

The Qiyi MS is a very good 5x5 but it's pretty large. I don't mind the size but if you are younger or have smaller hands you might prefer the Meilong 5x5m.

4-6 MGC is unparalleled, but I'm not blown away by the 7x7.

I (partially) disagree.
4x4: For 4x4 there isn't really any great budget options, although some people like the Meilong and YLM and I main the MS those are objectively worse than the MGC. The Ambition and Aosu WRM are very good, but the Aosu is very expensive and the Ambition doesn't seem to be very popular. I would say it's up for debate which 4x4 is "Worth it" but the MGC isn't the greatest quality (Not to be confused with performance). There is also the YJ Zhilong 4x4 mini which is supposedly surprisingly good.
For 5x5 the Valk 5m is largely agreed to be the "best" with the Aochuang being another contender but those are both expensive so you might be better off with either the MS or the MGC. The MGC is more popular but I prefer the MS. If you want to say that the MGC is better, I'm fine with that but you shouldn't be claiming the "only MGC is worth it". Because that's just not true.
6x6: If you want to save some money you could get the YuShi or the YLM but you should get a better 6x6 eventually. If you want to spend a bunch of money on the Shadow v2 go ahead but it's a hit or miss (Or absolutely loathe the cube and question why it exists) and the only notable user is Tymon so it's much safer to just get the MGC.
7x7: Just get the MGC. @Tabe likes the YJ YuFu v2 but you should really not waste your money, and just go straight to the MGC.
QiYi MS is usually recommended as budget for 2x2 as well. I think it is too different feel and noisy. Yupo V2M do have the occasional corner twist.
i have seen Meilong is good at 8x8 and up. But the Reddit forum really likes MGC and YJ mini for 4x4-7x7. I have them and like them.

You already asked this question in another thread, please don't spam multiple threads with the same question.
The QiDi is the best out of those.

I'm looking for a new speedcube. I use Roux, and I currently have an RS3M 2020, but I don't like the instability and slippery feel of the surface. Budget pretty much unlimited. Preferably pro setup and lubed for smooth and fast. snap-feel magnets i guess.

A ProShop WR M 2021 or Tornado v2 sounds like what you are talking about.
I'm a roux solver and immediately fell in love with the WRM2021 Maglev

the WRM2020 and 2021 Maglev really won me over.
I wasn't crazy about them at first but more and more I found myself reaching for them and now I have one sitting on my desk all the time. It just sort of ticks all the boxes and is a good cube.
I still like Dayan and Gan and Qiyi a lot, but this one seems to just eek past them into my 'favorite' slot.
Finding myself pretty much boycotting Gan these days. They make great cubes but the prices are ridiculous. And other companies are making great cubes at more realistic prices.
