I use my N5 for 5a and love it. Never tried the Node for 5a.

EDIT: Just tried 5a with the Node and didn’t like how it felt in my hand. Too big. The Node is maybe a little more stable than the N5, but I don’t have a problem going long with the N5 either. For a sub 20 dollar yoyo, you can’t go wrong.
