This 4x4 is really good. But if you're looking for the best, this would not be the right choice. Both the MGC and the VinCube have a better performance and price. Aside from that, this cube really is great. The corner cutting is the best out there, and it's the most pop resistant, but when it's on the verge of popping or when it rarely does pop, it's a nightmare to get the piece back in place, even for an experienced cuber like myself. SO. If you're a beginner (or not) I'd get the MGC, but if you want a higher quality 4x4, get the UV coated VinCube, it's only $30.
