I haven't yet flown the blurr or cult yet but will have a chance soon on the cult and end of september at JIBE. I understand they are reduced lift kites that are well suited for a buggy. The crossfire has a bridle setting that reduces its lift and increased its speed for the buggy. Ozone and Flexi make really nice kites but the Crossfire has to be the best bargain out there for a high performance kite. In the 5m size the CF is $300 less than the Blurr. You can change the bridle back to lifty and you have an awesome jumping kite. Very versatile.

As Bobby says, the Crossfire II is a very versatile high performance kite at a great price point. You just have to stay ahead of it a bit when it is in the low lift setting, as it is less forgiving in the case of a mis-timed jibe. In the lifty setting it is very stable. Excellent build quality and is very complete, even with ground stake.
