did you try the M slices on the gts2 M? in my opinion, the gts2M magnets feel about as strong as the Air UM magnets, perhaps the air is slightly stronger. the mass produced valk M have the weakest of the three.
starting off, you will feel the magnet of gts2M and airM a little while doing M slices. after practicing a while, you'll adjust your turning and it should be perfectly fine. another way around it is to loosen the cubes, which reduces the tension. valk M i think you will have a hard time feeling the magnets while doing LSE or any other part of the solve.
all the cubes can be great for roux. valk m is the safe choice but because it has weak magnets, but also means it won't be as stable or "click in to place" as a strong magnet cube. the other ones are more risky. you will feel the magnets more, some people like it, some do not.
if you really like the feel of magnets, go for gts2m, airUM or a ValkM made with strong magnets.
