You can’t go wrong with either, obviously!! Here is a side by side. If you like the wider playfeel, then Ekta is your choice. The two do feel like they’re related! I’ve said it before that Ekta has a very TP’ish feeling in the hand and on the string.
Yeah! I feel like the ekta design wise was a marriage between turning point for aesthetics, yoyo recreation for the dome hub, and the Aria for the side view. Looking at them side by side now I’m sure I’ll enjoy the ekta a bit more. I think the hinemosu might be a hit too dense for me. Thanks for chiming in!
