But really they can all work. The one is pretty nimble and sits deep in the window with heaps of grunt.
The varial sits further to the edge and is a real gust eater but doesn't drift as quick and the lithium is in between the two.

been flying the lithium for two seasons ,8m and 6m love them for their piviotal turning. you can turn your kite just as your comiming off the top and you dont have to wait for it , pretty instant. the varial and vapor are alot more grunty and smooth but found i was mistiming my turn due to waiting for the kite to turn,due to them not pivioting on thier wing tip. but when they turn they still have alot of power, witch is why the freestylers love them. Like every kite, you get used to it and end up riding to how it reacts. if you going for a park your kite and ride style the vapor and varial would be sweet. but if you like to move your kite alot on the wave with your turns the lithium is the go. I love how you can switch it off when your smashing the lip so it doesnt pull you down the line where you dont want to be, due to its massive bar throw and depower and the piviotal turning. Hope ididnt ramble on to much, just thought ill give my opinion since ive been riding with airush for 5 years.
