Gan's close to announcing a new cube, but we don't know what it is, yet. Or do we?
SpeedCubeReview just did an unboxing video the other day of the Gan 13, but in the first 20 seconds of the vid he says he got 2 cubes from Gan, he'll look at the other one later, not going to tell what it is, but it's really interesting and Gan hasn't announced it yet -
So, can we assume it's either a 5x5 or SQ1, that Gan said last year that they were going to release this year? I think a Gan sq1 would be interesting, but a 5x5 would just be 'meh'.

Last time gan made a big cube, it wasn't good. The outer layers were decent, but the inners were meh. It was a 4x4, though, and a good 4x4 was hard to make back then.

I would love for GAN to release a square-1 it would be interesting to see what new tech they bring to it, but the 5x5 probably wouldn't be too good, based on their 4x4.

Have anyone heard of the Monster GO mirror blocks? Is it magnetic?
 
Looking at the mechanism of the super rs3m, it only looks like they added a mesh pattern and "Ganified" the center caps a bit.

Maybe they made it lighter, but I don't know.

My opinion, until the official weight comes out: you don't have a need to get this cube if you already have the rs3m2020. Perhaps it might be worth looking into if it's substantialy lighter, but atm, it's only topical and superficial changes.

Anything over 100 grams in today's market is arguably way too heavy to be considered decently viable.

For moyu to release a cube that's 171 grams concerns me as to whether or not moyu is in touch, especially considering when a lot of the most popular cubes are 90-100 grams lighter.

At this point, I'll strongly suggest sticking with the original.
