Why. Why would you want to force people to buy a cube they don't want to use, and force them to give up on the cube they've been using and enjoying for years? I think they should both be allowed in competitions when the regs get changed. The other thing is, I find it really hard to hold a large cubic cube, I can just about cope with the V6 but I tried holding an 8x8 and its really hard for me. I imagine others will have this problem too.
