To me the WRM 2021 and Tornado V3 Flagship are very similar in feel and performance. The Tornado has core magnets but it is still lighter (72g vs 78g). It feels, sounds and performs about the same. There is no issue with quality on my Flagship. So, the choice here depends on whether you care about the difference in weight. The WRM 2021 is better value, if not. I cannot honestly feel an improvement from the use of core magnets in this Flagship, (nor in a WRM 2021 with CH core magnets added).
As for Maglev versions of these two cubes, I suggest you also consider the actual benefit from the use of Maglev in cubes. I only have the Maglev WRM, but it seems again that any real world performance benefit in speed solving is arguable, based on several reviews I read. Maglev makes the cubes heavier (by another 6g), more expensive, different in feel and in sound, and also needs adjustment in finger skills, but not necessarily better in performance. It seems to be the novelty and in the case of the Maglev WRM, also the purple internals, that you are paying for. I'm also wondering about the real benefit of Maglev. I suspect it will be further developed and improved in future models, but at this time, I am not convinced.
