If you are looking to purchase new the Koi, the Sistine and Parlay are currently available and any of the three options would serve you well for a first organic! As for the mentioned hybrids, I have no experience with either so sadly I’m not help there.

Organics are great. There are enough good ones around that you’ve got options. I suspect you won’t go wrong with the markmont though. That is a solid and popular choice.

I am leaning towards the markmont classic because I kinda like the side effects. I think it looks cool haha. but I also like the step right before the response pads. is there any other yoyo that has those?  
but id rather have a 7075 than side effects.

The RCS Convoy has a response bump, and is 7075. It’s one of my favorites, actually, I wish I’d thought of it earlier.

Why not get a Markmont Magnum Opus and you can have both??? Legendary Terrarian is 7075 with side effects too.

My favorite out of all the organics I’ve played recently is the Koi. It’s a great price, really well made. Plays amazing  
If you want something more slim then either a topyo origin or get a freehand 1 al
