What should I buy?

Hi, could you help me again?

These are my current yoyos: Krown.wst and Aceyo Mercy 8. I'm looking to buy another yoyo, but I'm torn between the Speedaholic XX and the Vanitas.

Does the Vanitas have a play feel that's similar to the Krown.wst? If so, I might go with a different yoyo instead.

I found a second-hand Vanitas for $41. The seller didn't mention what grade it is, but from the spin video I couldn't see any visible vibe, so I'm guessing it might only have a very slight vibe that you can feel with your fingernail.

As for the Speedaholic XX, I found a brand-new one for $38, which is the cheapest price I've been able to find for the specific color I want.

Yoyo rim and bearing

Hi! I know this might sound a little silly, but I'm kind of a perfectionist. I've been thinking about this for the past few weeks.

I wanted to ask if I accidentally damaged my yoyo. There's a tiny spot on the rim that I marked. Is that something I caused, or is it just part of the factory machining/design?

A while ago, I pressed on the angled/sloped part with my fingers from two opposite sides because I thought it might tighten the stainless steel rings. Yeah... pretty dumb thing to do.

Sometimes when I run my finger over that sloped area, I feel what seems like a tiny bump or a slightly flat spot. But when I touch it again, it feels perfectly smooth. Maybe it's just my imagination?

When the yoyo is spinning, I can feel a very slight/ normal vibe, but it's nowhere near enough to make the string vibrate.

Oh, and one more thing. The original bearing that came with the yoyo wore out, so I replaced it with a third-party bearing that cost around $7–8. Do you think it's worth buying an NSK bearing for around $15, or is the one I have already good enough?

Help me decide

Hey everyone, I could use some advice.

‎I'm looking to buy another bimetal yoyo in the $25–30 range.

‎I enjoy a relaxed but slightly technical playstyle, so I'm looking for something that feels stable, balanced, and can hold spin well for longer combos.

‎I've found a few options available in my country, but I'm having trouble deciding. If you've played any of these, I'd love to hear your experience.

‎Listed from most expensive to least expensive. All of them are used except Mercy 8 and geats (bnib) .

‎For reference, I'm currently using a Krown.wst. I got a really good deal on it second-hand. Don't get me wrong, I like the Krown.wst. I'm just looking for something that feels different and suits a different playstyle while still being comfortable to play.

‎Aceyo Mercy 8 (Inner Ring Version)
