So I got my SuLong, and now I'm unboxing it. ;D

Out of the box, It required a bit more force to turn. Looking and testing the mechanism, it CAN pop if you reverse corner cut too much, but it has never popped while speedcubing, so it isn't an issue at all. Out of the box, it could cut just BARELY over 45 Degrees, and could reverse cut under 1/2 a center piece. The M Slice Cuts 1/2 a center piece, so corner cutting is good. The cube is fairly quiet, except almost ANY degree of corner cutting will increase the noise. The stickers of this are great. They're like those name brand stickers, except they're not glossy, and the stickers are great for recognition. Algorithms just flow on this cube, and no lockups or pops in solves have occurred. Keep in mind, I have fairly accurate turning, meaning that I barely lock up on fast Rubik's Brands and dem DianShengs that can't cut. Overall, this cube was GREAT out of the box, with no major issues. After lubrication, It cuts line to line in the OTHER direction... Which is downright INCREDIBLE. It reverse cuts 3/4ths of a center piece, and M Slice cuts 3/4 a Center Piece. Now, it did come Pre-Lubed so I had to wipe it out, and I didn't bother to do the centers because no spring noise occoured. The cube is much faster, and the turning resistance issue is solved. According to the numbers, my lubricant is the same CST as Silicube Rush, so it should feel about the same as that lubricant. Without any issues off the top of my head, this is my new main. I literally have no problem at ALL with this cube. Everything is PERFECT for me. I highly recommend this cube, it is a no-brainer, especially considering the price.
Additional Notes: The lubricant I used was Team Associated 30000CST, availible at Amazon. After a bit of inspection, it IS a bit smaller than my PanShi. It didn't make a huge difference, and I didn't notice it while solving.
