For boredom, duh 
Theyāre in a similar wheelhouse: long-spinning, stable, but lightweight. The feel in hand and during tricks is a bit different, though. As you can imagine from pictures, the Pulsefire seems to have a bit more āeaseā manoevering through string formations. The straighter angles make it feel like you can get it into tight spaces.
Did I mention theyāre both stable? Likeā¦ nutty stable. I didnāt own a Draupnir, but as I recall from time spent playing one, itās that kind of category for both the Pulsefire and the Rave. I would give a SLIGHT stability edge to the Rave (you can even see thereās more SS at the rims), but I meanā¦ itās kind of pointless to even compare because theyāre both into that category of āway more stable than any human really needsā.
The Rave looks more comfy on the catch, and it surely fills out the palm a bit more, but you know what? In practice I find them both very comfortable to catch. I thought the Rave would have a hands-down victory in that department, but no. Theyāre both good. The slightly sharp āedgesā just inside the cup for the Rave are the only thing that make it on the same level, though. With a bevel or something on the inside, I think the Rave would take it.
Ano-wise, the edge goes to the Rave in red/yellow/black over the Pulsefireās orange acid on black. Thatās totally opinion, though. The rave is a beauty especially when spinning. On the other hand, both my custom engraving and the retail Pulsefire engraving have the Pulsefire winning in the engraving department.
Both have āfine for fingerspinsā hubs (flat), but I seem to do better with the Pulsefire. Not sure why. I canāt horizontal for beans, but I think either of them would be great for horizontal players.
Theyāre both amazing. Get either. Or both. If you get both, understand that they donāt play radically different from one another. But both play at the level of $200+ bi-metals, thereās that. If I lost either of them tomorrow, I would buy replacements.
