Rev changed their tubes to make them intentionally not interchangeable with older Revs and similar offerings from other manufacturers. Your situation is based on their business decision that everyone needs springs. Weight was not the consideration. A Rod with a spring was their decision point. -
My sister in law recently bought a set of Revolution New York Minutes with Reflex. She is new to flying and these looked like an economical place to start; great deal from Kent at Wind of Change. The Full Sail has 2 wrap tubes in the leading edge and a Reflex labeled tube for the vertical spars. By my kitchen scales, the 2 Wrap tube weighs 11 grams and the Reflex vertical tube weighs 18 grams. The Midvent has 3 wrap tubes weighing 15 grams and the Full Vent has 4 wrap tubes weighing 22 grams in their leading edges but both came with the Reflex tube which weighs 18 grams for the vertical spars. The other quad kites I've come into contact with had the same size/weight tubes for all 5 pieces of the frame. Is there any reason the vertical tubes on these kites differ so much from the tubes used in the leading edge and is there any advantage to having a heavier tube in the verticals? -
@TaylorSent you a private message regarding this kite. I have one I might be willing to part with..

Haven't watched your video yet, but as I learned, I found it very important to setup the reversal by moving your feet first. Even changes in direction are setup by getting your footwork in order. Think golf swing - the downswing starts from the bottom up, feet first. I watched John's tutorials in a very specific manner - I watched the whole series concentrating on his feet. Then watched concentrating on the hands. Finally watching how the first two affected the kite flying. IMHO YMMV -

I've found my minimum is 50' for the Zen. Just too big for 30's, wind window is really small and I feel, too short to easily move the kite in turns. Added extra - 50' is about my limit to throw one successfully.
