They are both great. However, grinds and horizontal play are both better on the n12 simply because of it’s shape and composition. a well blasted metal yoyo will almost always grind better than a cheap plastic. The 1a play on both is pretty superb, and it is all preference. If you like a lighter player i would go speedaholic, but a heavy yoyo lover might go for the n12. I would definitely just pick the one that looks best, but i do think that overall, the n12 is a touch more versatile. Neither will disappoint though 🙂
