hi ackack, welcome to the forum. i started a year ago with a quantum and then moved up to the hypnotist. in answer to your question yes the two are pretty similar...if you want a kite with a much higher skill ceiling youll need to move up to kites with higher tech frames for light weight/stiffness, . the quantum/hypnotist are a little too limber for quick inputs and quick response. it wouldnt be long before you wanted to move up again...i did...i noticed some good deals on discontinued prism kites while i was still a novice and bought an ultralight zephyr and a standard E3, both another step up from the hypnotist. these 2 kites are about all i need to move up (slowly) to intermediate level except for two things: low wind where i live, and i just love kites. typically the wind around here ranges from calm to 4 or 5 mph for days if not weeks so i have picked up a few kites to cover the low range.. back to your situation; a standard with a wind range of say 3 to 18 should do. once you get to the teens its tough to do slack line tricks anyway. if your usual flying fields have a lot of 10 to 15+ winds you will want to look around for some lower wind spots too. your best buy for a really good kite is an Into the Wind Hydra, a 7' 5" $225 kite for half price...thats $112.50 (dont wait too long if you want one its being closed out) the used market for higher end kites is a great way to go. i might be putting my foot in it but i bet one of the members here would part with a great kite for a fair price to help you out. good luck on whichever way you go.

Leading Edge will be Red with white screen, Edge Binding also Red. Center panel will be adjusted for fit once the LE Sleeve is completed.

Wouldn't mind adding this one to my quiver at all! Getting close!!!
