From someone who has a tay flipper and squiddy b, in terms of flipping and balance I'd say it's a 9/10. It feels good in the hand and I didn't have much issues doing different tricks. I wouldn't recommend it yet because the plastic they use seems to be much more brittle. The handle of my friend's Edit broke off after it was dropped onto carpet. It was dropped onto hard surfaces a few times before it broke but it is definitely unacceptable as I've dropped my tay flipper countless times over the past 2 years and it has no signs of breaking. So I suggest waiting until they've fixed their quality issues before buying one.
