Which Gigaminx should I buy?

I have a small issue

I would so love to buy the DianSheng Giga for my collection, just because of the magnets and the great look of the puzzle, however, I have seen a positive review on the ShengShou Giga V2, and now I am second guessing whether or not I should buy the DianSheng Giga.

Any suggestions?

I have both, AND the Yuxin. Turning on all three is pretty decent, but I'm no speedsolver...

The DianSheng magnets really help with alignment. The center edge pieces are the largest of the three 'minxes, even though it's the smallest of the three, making them much easier to spot during a solve. I am a little disappointed with the bright yellow pieces, as they're somewhat translucent, and the inner stem piece colors show thru slightly.

The Yuxin is a few mm smaller than the ShengShou, and the grip is much more comfortable.

The stickerless ShengShou V2 is a third cheaper than the original stickered one on TC. I also think it turns better than the original. But, for me, the flat faces are the least comfortable grip.

Overall, I like the DianSheng best for the magnets, larger center edges, and size. It's not much bigger than a megaminx.

The DianSheng is definitely the best.

I think most of the issues people talk about with the DianSheng (Corner cutting, Catching, and Slowness) can be fixed with break-in, and by removing the flash on a portion of the pieces.
