Shook mesh masterpieces offer the wind range of 1-1/2 to 2 normally vented wings, two kites for less than that price is why over 300 have been individually ordered. It should NOT work as well as it does! The most popular model is situated exactly btwn a full and mid-vent,.... what does that mean? A Shook 75% is almost always the right kite. During a large gathering you'd see all the models being flown together, not in compromising arrangement, NO, each pilot honestly feels their kite is right, the frames stiffened or allowed more flex, based upon preferences by the owner. Smooth and all graceful ballerina dance or leaping like a hungry cheetah ? Do you want a unique flight experience on four lines?

What is available to you locally? You said you are on a budget - how big? (please convert to $) What are your "normal" winds? Are you tied to a "brand" or open to other choices? You've asked a very open-ended question.....

If your only buying one why not buy a Djinn, I believe the wind range to be far bigger, just my thought I'm sure others will chime in soon, whatever you choose enjoy.

1st response is it's a personal decision. Everyone's take is different.. 2nd response to answer your question from my viewpoint, YES!!! It truly makes a difference for me. I only use 13" handles on 72" sails. While I don't personally subscribe to it, some of the better indoor and low wind fliers use 15's, 17's or even longer handles. Personal recommendation, Have a look at the Freilein Handles. A simple change of the leaders and you have a great set of handles. With the typical Rev handles, you'll eventually want to convert to snagless. That's already done for the Freilein ones.
