I bought this cube just because it was on sale, and honestly I'm surprised at how much I enjoy this cube. I bought the black plastic stickered variant because I didn't have any stickered cubes yet, plus I've heard good things about the stickers on this and wanted to try it out, and I really like this cube. I didn't expect the black borders to affect my recognition the way it did, and out of the box I didn't really like the settings, but after configuring it to my liking, I've come to really appreciate it. The recognition thing still slows down my times, but it just feels so nice to use that I don't even care about the times, and the quietness of the puzzle means I can play with it a lot in class without being too distracting (Cubing helps a bit with my adhd, so I always have a cube on me while listening to lectures, but until now, I haven't had a cube that was quiet enough for me to solve at my normal speed without being too loud).
