Seems like a lot of people love the Silenus. Looking at the Essence in the new releases and it looks like a similar shape but a bit lighter. Has anyone tried both? What do you think?

Silenus is a great yoyo and cheap and it is available all kind of different and awesome splash colors. You can get two Silenus for the price of one Essence. I highly recommend one Silenus at least 🙂

Silenus plays lighter than the specs imo. I wouldn’t let that stop you from trying it.

Silenus plays like it weighs about 63gs

Huh? There is only a $10 price difference between them.
