Note: Some of the puzzles I have multiples of, thats why I list no colors. Also, I am a crazy collector, so I decided to only list my 2x2s-5x5s, before I make the longest post in history.

I, personally LOVE the size.

Though it's probably because I have small hands.

How large are your hands?

I've been exclusively using this cube for all speedsolving recently, and I tried turning my regular 3x3,

It felt like a GIANT

On-topic:

Rubik's storebought

1. Speed: 7/10 - (Pretty good, but it has only 4 fast faces. Lol, the other 2 suck)
2. Lock up resistance: 4/10 - (He earnt some points in lockup resistance because of usage, It's pretty grinded so is better than before)
3. Corner cutting: 1/10 - (Noting to say here... no springs, crappy pseudo-corner cutting... period)
4. Pop resistance: 10/10 - (This guy has never popped, that's something I can't complain about this cube)
5. Quietness: 9/10 - (Pretty silent, the only loud noise it makes is when it locks up badly >_<...)
6. Reliability: 5/10 - (No, no... NO SIR !)
7. Overall: 6/10 - (Overall... I want to get another cube, is that a good answer?)

First post :p
Back on topic tho,

Rubik's 3x3x3 Storebought
Now, before I say anything else, it was heavily worn down and lubed with silicone spray.

Smoothness/Speed: 9.5/10 (no kidding, really good)
Lockup Resistance: 6/10
Cutting Corners: 8/10 (Wearing down and lubing helps, can cut 25-35º)
Pop Resistance: 10/10 (This thing NEVER EVER EVER pops)
Quietness: 7/10 (Springs are noisy)
Reliability: 10/10 (It's a Rubik's cube...)
Overall: 8.5

Overall it's a good cube, was total crap when I bought it but now it's much better.

That's the only cube I have apart from 3 more Storeboughts and 1 Rubik's mini.
