First I would like to thank TheCubicle.us for allowing me to do this review. You can stop buy their store and use discount code SpeedCubeReview to get 5% off of your order. Now the biggest difference between the two cubes right off the bat is the price. The YJ YuSu is $9 while the AoSu is $27. At triple the price it is a big difference. They are both 62mm, and the packaging looks almost identical. The YuSu was not wrapped in plastic in the box while the AoSu was, although I did not find that the YuSu was dusty at all. Before turning the YuSu seems a bit lighter and more squared off. The AoSu has a more bubbly feel to it. Within first turns you could definitely feel the difference. Th AoSu also just feels more structurally sound. Pieces seem to stay more aligned in the AoSu, and they fit together better. You can see on almost every corner of the YuSu there is a small gap between a few of the pieces. The tensions are almost identical and the YuSu just feels a bit tight and scratchier than the AoSu. It is not super slow, but there feels to be a bit more friction on the YJ cube. After some breaking in it definitely loosened up, but so did the AoSu. Corner cutting has improved especially on looser tensions, but there is a risk of an internal piece popping out of place. I took them apart to see what the difference internally was. The YJ YuSu seems very similar to the MoYu WeiSu, but I do not have pieces of that puzzle to compare to. The main things I take away from breaking the cube down is that 1. the springs are just slightly softer in the AoSu, 2. The puzzle is more solid with caps over the pieces instead of 1 solid mold used to create each piece causing them to be a bit more hollow on the outside of the piece. And 3. the pieces of the AoSu are fit a bit more snug inside the cube with very little open space. The structure of them and design are very similar and to a non-cuber seem almost identical. So, the big question is which one should you get. If you are new to 4x4 and want a fairly decent cube, the YJ YuSu will without a doubt be fine to get. If you are already quite fast or just want the best of the best no worry of the cost than the AoSu would be be the one to get. It is a hair faster, a bit less lock-y, a bit better corner cutting, and overall feels like a much more solid cube.
