As an intermediate 3x3 solver, impatience to learn 4x4 parity, I wanted a larger "intuitive" cube. I also have a MFJS3M, and MFJS4M, both which I enjoy the slower, more controlled turning speed and this fits right in, all out of the box. The magnets feel very uniform, unlike my friends 7m, and nice weight in the hand. I was surprised to see such small dimensions on a 5x5, but it feels very modern compared to legacy 5x5s. I have really enjoyed higher order puzzles and this is a great piece of my collection I don't see being replaced for awhile.
