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 ?
Kites: 2.5m Profoil , Quadrifoil XL kitesurfer, NPW 5 Danger.
Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.
Flysurfer : 19m Speed 2 SA, 7m Pulse
Peter Lynn :18m Phantom, 15m Synergy, 10m Synergy, 1200 Farc, 460 Sarc, 130 Tarc, 5m Peel, 4.2m , 6.4, 8.5 C-Quads, 3.5 LS2 single skin.
Rides: Flexi / P.L. Frankin'Buggy , Shaped + straight skiis, sand skis, Coyote blades. Core 95 ATB. RKB R2 ATB .
