Opinions on the Benson Reflex kite?

I'm still a noob flyer so any info appreciated

An old-school classic. If you buy it don't expect it to do all the latest tricks.
Must fly

See page two of this.

It might make for a nice hit of nostalgia and let you see some tricks in another light but I wouldn't expect it to become Your New Favourite Kite.

This was my old Reflex flown by Alex Belov:

I donated it as a VF price.

As you can see in the video, the kite is actually quite capable of modern tricks but i wouldn't really advise it as kite to learn tricks with.
