Both cubes are fun solves - the 3 layer is the 2 layer with an extra step at the start. Both turn well - the 2 layer is very loose while the 3 layer is a bit tighter but both are very enjoyable to use. The shape is unique and extremely cool in my opinion - worth buying for anyone who is getting into non-wca puzzles. The solves are relatively quick and remind one of cuboid type methods. I really like these puzzles!
