I dunno...might as well try considering how stiff some of those 25th ones are. I mean, it's not like you're losing much, considering how bad they can be, and considering how easily replaceable (sp? sorry, it's too late to try to spell) they are.
Oh, and get rid of the damn reflective stickers. I had a friend who was solving one of those with a red shirt on...not cool. Any reflective sticker on the F face looked red. They're so distracting. And, even with a non-speedcuber using it, at least three stickers fell off (down to the white thing) within a week. Four days, more like. Really, the stickers are poorly designed. Rubiks should get a truckload of cubesmith stickers.
