Hmm , the BVM 2 releases tomorrow night, so you can get it sooner. Not sure, but the new BVM appears slightly oversized, while the Summit has the deal like the cascade or hot, where the gap is thickness at the middle(Near gap) is thinner so it probably feels slightly undersized. To me the new BVM looks terrible, but its all preference.

If you have a Dark Magic II: Summit is slightly wider and just a hair bigger in diameter.

The Summit will be more expensive. The pre pro’s were discounted.

The Summit isn’t undersized at all! It’s more of a wide Ava with the cup-design of the Cascade.  
I’m thinking that while there probably will be another run of the BvM2, it might not be another run of the Summit, considering how many were made during their last collab (WMM)

I can’t recall where I read it now, but I swear somebody from Caribou Lodge or One Drop said that the Summit would be an ongoing production (i.e., it wouldn’t be a limited run).

I say you get the Man 2, but I do hear the Bear is a good yoyo too.

I love my Summit. I have not switched the Ultralights out for any other SE yet but I heard that it gets too heavy with heavier SE. The BvM looks pretty boss.

With ultralights it is super floaty. If your looking for speed and long spins tho i recomend bvm2
