Ozone Access (V6 or V7) or Peter Lynn Lynx (V5) 6.0m kite

Friends: I'm in the market for a gently used Ozone Access (V6 or V7) or Peter Lynn Lynx (V5) 6.0m kite. First choice is Kite-Only. Hoping it's only been used on snow, sand, or grass and not on playas as I plan to use it.

keep in mind Steve. The Access v6 and v7 are both 5th line kites. so if you get one Kite only you will need to get a 5 line bar. May i also suggest a 5m Subzero? i have flown both back to back they are both super stable but the subzero has just a little better upwind angle and much more grunt. 5 is more than 6...I'd be happy to share some video of the session. it was me and my friend Cotton. He started on the Access and I on the Subzero. After awhile we switched. Wind was East @ 25-35mphboth kites are 5th line both kites performed excellent. But one stood out from the other. For reference Cotton is a beginner and was able to handle both kites with ease. He also noted a clear difference in performance and preferred the Subzero over the access. Do not misunderstand me. In no way am i trying to knock the Access. its an amazing kite. I'm just suggesting another possible option if you are unable to find an access. Ozone has discontinued the Access. and now offers the Pure in its place. I do have a 6m Pure if you would be interested.

I appreciate all the good insights. I'll have to check out the Subzero at some point. For what it's worth, I ended up picking up 4 and 6m Lynx kites. I have a bunch of 5-line bar setups already and was able to dial them in with some creative pigtails.
