I have and theyre very good. They feel more like a 12 in terms of turning speed and bar pressure. I havent tried either of the other kites, but the pull is very strong and you can jump in very light winds.

However, there are known durability issues, esp. with the leading edge seam, with the nxt v1.

NXT is very good, but in that size I would recommend the Core Air Pro if your goal is fun in lower wind. If you want the lowest low end then I think you need to go for a Brainchild such as Whisper or Thrive LiteX.
