Probably not going to happen for several months, but just getting a feel for thoughts and opinions, assuming things go well with my replay pro and I reach a point where I am ready to upgrade to metal what are the best first metal options, keep it under $50 ---

TooHot is great. Awesome shape, good size, not too heavy, real smooth. ---

Two great suggestions. I heard rumor at NER that YYE will start carrying the Recess yoyos in the near future. I own a Too HOT, and tried a Joyride at NER. Both are great. ---

YYF Horizon or YYO Orbis are my top 2 favorite under $50 aluminum throws. If you save another $10 look into the One Drop Benchmark series, they come in different shape profiles and have side effects to adjust their weight. ---

I just looked at the Benchmark series, can anyone give me a run down on the pros and cons of each shape, for benchmarks and in general? ---

It’s all based on opinion when it comes to the Benchmark series. Either one will be fantastic and perform very well. O shape is obviously gonna be more comfortable but not quite as stable as the H and V (still stable though). V’s kinda in between. The H is probably gonna be the most stable but least comfortable in hand. ---

The performance is excellent and can stack up against much more expensive yoyos. ---

Like the idea of keeping it cheap with the kilter 2, how big of an upgrade is that over a replay pro? How does it stack up against the $45 yyf options (shutter, too hot, czechpoint, horizon)? ---

You want something that’s good for everything. Shutter and TooHOT are your best options. Both very stable and good in size and weight. ---

appreciate all the input, does anyone have any more info in the Kilter 2? I like the price on that but I don’t just want to get metal just to say I have a metal, I want to be upgrading performance, is it a significant upgrade from the replay pro? How much does it suffer in comparison to the YYF $45 offerings or the OD Benchmark options? [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/first-budget-metal/76854.md?page=2)
