When the wind is right, I feel that this is the most easy to trick of the current (E3 not included) Prism line-up.

You see I don't have a problem with that statement now that you've qualified it by saying it's better at certain tricks than other Prisms.
Saying it's good at tricks when at that price range there are some pretty awesome trick machines available is a bit misleading.
I didn't go to Blackheath but so long as you were enjoying yourself that's all that matters.

It's a lot more user friendly and playful.

I hadn't noticed this before but.... the spine on mine isn't "a single unmodified piece of Skyshark P series" because there is a 6½cm bit glued and ferruled onto the top of a regular 82½cm spar. So the spine is too long for Px00 series spars.

But I like it.
Also I fly to Spain several times a year, the case provides the only way of taking 2 kites with me, other than a big cardboard tube I guess.
