i dont know what all the changes are, but any blade thats brand new for 150 is a steal in my book.......

save your $$$.............. the III and IV series are more stable with alot of pop.................Ive owned the series II 4.9 and although a good flying sail not the pop and adrenaline rush of the newer series blades.............

I vote the MkII Blade.

It has an aspect ratio of 5.5 vs 5.0 of the Mk3/4/5 and 31 cells vs 30 cells of the Mk3/4/5.
It's raw, it's moody, it's the most powerful Blade ever made and it wants to kill you and that's the best reason ever to buy the Legendary MkII.

Mk4/5 are depower kites, yes you heard right. If you can change the AoA then it's a depower and all depower kites are compromised kites.

It isn't apples to apples but my 9m Blade II was the best $200 spent. It was my most used kite for years. Has been through the wringer ( was a surf kite ) and the Playa with little more than some pinholes. It has never let me down or given me a lofting.

I can't speak for how the 4m will fly but it will be well made and last !

Should be a dangerous combo of lift and lack of float ?
