Need some advice from folks who know both these year models.

I can get a good deal on a 2013 13m (600usd).

There's a guy who has a 2015 that says they turn much faster than previous models but obviously his is much more.

Anybody care to comment on the perceivable diffs between these year models?

the newer v7/v8 edges are a little bit more grunty than the 2013 models . Slightly different canopy shape but as to turning faster i think they are on a par .

I have 2013 and v7 edges and the only difference i felt was more power in the v7 compared to the 2013 . As for turning speed well same same really

I'm going with the 13m to fill my needs for a kite that covers 12-20+

I already have a 2011 11m edge and will upgrade that one to the 10m next.

Hoping to increase my low end but also want to get the best top end speed I can with my raceboard. I'm figuring that when we get our 12-20 days I will be pretty well powered.

How big of a difference is the feel of the new edge? Does the extra grunt translate to better reaching speeds at the expense of upwind angles? Seems like maybe it's slightly lower aspect?

I have 13m 10m combo. Works well. Mine 2013 models
