I’ve found a good deal on a G2 aftershock, but I then found a nickle plated version for the same price. I know the nickle plated is worth more, but is it actually better? ---

Why do you think a surface finish would make one yoyo better than another? ---

I wasn’t sure if it would actually affect normal play, but I was also talking about grinds and fingerspins because I’ve heard multiple people say it negatively affects them. ---

It adds a half gram of weight too which I’ve found generally makes the yoyo a tiny bit more solid but it’s all up to you.
