Umm .... I think that actually the Rubiks.com 5x5x5's are the best ones. Thy are more stable than the others. But of course the initial stiffness is a big setback. I hope that my correspondence with Seventowns will be fruitful. I have suggested some changes to the design. The reason many prefer mefferts or the old 80's wahn is cause they use screws and not rivets. I'd really love to see Seventowns switch to good machine screws so one can remove the tightness and also adjust the tension to ones liking easily. And also do those changes to the outer edges. Like i have seen on Grant Tregay's cube it makes the cube turn a whole lot nicer, probably eliminating many of the problems with twisting corner-centers and popping edge-centers and so on.
Cause right now most ppl's worry w larger cubes is to get a good 5x5x5. A good 5x5x5 easily saves u 30 secs or more on a solve. I know this from experience. I could never get sub 3:00 consistently on my old Wahn even after balancing the tension. The molding of the pieces was not really good. Well, the kind of 5x5x5 really also depends a lot on cubing style. Im very dependent on a high turn-rate w my cage method. I gain solving time by faster recognition even if my solution is a bit longer than the pairing-up approach.
