This is my first FTO, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but overall, I'd say it's a great puzzle. I chose it over the magnetic DianSheng model having heard that it was a significant improvement. I figured I'd rather pay a little extra rather than take a chance of being dissatisfied. For all I know, the DianSheng might be fine as well, but I'm definitely satisfied with the magnetic DaYan FTO. The corners are easily twisted, but this hasn't been a significant disruption, maybe happened once out of about 50 solves so far, and it will probably be even less frequent as I become more accustomed to the different angles between rotation axes angles in comparison to conventional cubes.
