So basically I'm considering getting a new 3x3 and I'm split between the insane number of new moyu cubes and versions.

Debating on:
WRM v9 (all versions)
WRM 2021 (all versions)
Super RS3M (all versions)
RS3M v5 (all versions) Also I don't know why you can't buy the maglev version without the display case. I find that a bit annoying.
YS3M (all versions)

As you can tell, I don't really know much about the cubes and whether maglev and stuff is worth it.

Side Notes:
I'm considering price but it shouldn't be a huge factor in deciding.
I also want a cube that ideally can last me for around 2 years.

Edit:
Also you obviously don't have to own all of the cubes just give your opinions on the ones you have.

What size do you recommend for 2 hands and what size for OH? Also can the size for OH be comfortably used for 2 hands?
Also maglev or standard?
I’ve been using the 54 as my main for 2H very comfortably. The smaller size makes it more controllable. There isn’t really much difference at all between them so I’d just get the spring version since it’s slightly cheaper.

WRM V9 BC (Picube or normal, depending on if you want a more stable cube or a faster cube)

Tbh I pretty much have all of them (sold my modded ys3m tho)
I’m now maining the v5, and I can confidently say that it’s the best value you can get. It feels like an updated ys3m with better corner cutting, whereas the structural design of the ys3m is essentially based on the meilong, and that explains why the ys3m cannot even cut close to line to line reverse unless extensively modded or setup. Apart from that the v5 basically feels like a well refined ys3m.
However, I would still recommend the PiCube V9 if you can get one (it’s limited to 1500 worldwide as I understand). The 55mm size is more mainstream nowadays, and the magnets are a lot more reasonable than the stock ball core v9. The stock ball core uv v9 isn’t really worth getting imo, its more expensive with maglev and edge repelling magnets which doesn’t really work well. The picube v9 on the other hand would be the best 3x3 for the most people, if you can still get it for a reasonable price there’s no reason not to get this.
I’d personally recommend getting the GuHong pro instead. I’ve been enjoying it more than any of the recent Moyu cubes
I’m using the 54mm maglev as my OH main. I would recommend it if you have a rather tight budget and you just want to get it as your first speedcube. The adjustment system is very easy to understand and use, at least I found it way better than some gan cubes with nearly 300 times more adjustments to make. I like it but I like some other 3x3s even more.

As a Beginner, I agree with everything said here. They are excellent cubes and you don't have to be a super fast cuber to feel the difference. My 54mm Guhong Pro Maglev is fully broken in and to me, it is as good as the Tornado V3 Flagship and better than the Picube special edition V9, which is too fast or slippery. They are all excellent cubes, but the Guhong just feel easier for me to control. I guess it's important to also consider your own requitements and ability in these decisions.

I really enjoy the GuHong (I don’t own one myself, but I’ve tried it myself), or the tornado V3.

DONT GET THE YS3M I HATE THAT THING

the V9 is good, but I prefer the Tornado V3
