They all seem to be similar, but I think the Genesis is more fitting.

is the severe really that good, cause im tossing up the severe or the mvp i like them both, i want somthing with a huge gap but stil able to bind. i know the mvp is beastly but im leaning towards the severe because it wont break the bank, but i want to make shure im making the right choice.

Sure the SEVERE is good, but the Genesis is more H-Shaped which he may like more.

I have heard great thing on the Severe or Genisis. After looking at you preferances, i would say that a genisis is more fitting because its H-Shape and 1g over your ideal wieght.

EDIT: The genisis also has cool color varieties and has an option of Small Bearing or Large Bearing.
