how much better?

some of you guys might think this post is stupid..idc, go ahead and bump it,and lock it if u want rob, but i am kinda curious. so to all that have rode a razor ultra pro or pro model, how much better does it feel and what does it feel like to ride a mgp nitro or a blunt complete, lucky, phoenix, whatever youve ridden or currently ride (that is also a great scooter) is it really 'great' or is it just u know more solid and smoother than a rup , can you give a comparison for me(rup to whatever good scooter u have now) if i had, lets say i got idk like a real nice phoenix scooter, would it really be like super smooth and way way easier to bust out tricks on them than a ultra pro, or is it really not that different, but just a little smoother? ive never actually have ridden a 'good scooter' so i was just wondering thanks a lot guys
sorry for dumb post,u gotta ask questions to find answers

depends how good u are. im not that good a rider, i can only double whip, 360 and stuff, so to me it doesnt make much of a difference. but for someone heaps good it makes a lot of a difference- lasts longer, enables them to do more tricks etc.

I use a proto orion and it feels super solid and smooth, but some tricks are are harder on it because of it weight. For example a flat 3 whip would be easier on a rup compaired to a orion because they are so damn easy to spin. But that's just my experience,
rups are not bad, a lot of tricks are easy to get the rotation on but hard to land because of its size.

it doesnt make riding any easier, people buy aftermarket parts when stock parts can't handle their riding anymore. if you just want a smooth ride get an fsa pig headset and some decent metal cores and obviously some good grips and it will make a huge difference.

All decks have different geometry. If you ride a rup, for an example a district dk-2 would feel horrible for you. It is much longer and has a steeper hta.

I honestly can't ride rups. I put my spare one on for 4 days and tried to get used to it and rode each day, and I just couldn't ride it. They're way too short/light/slack hta.
Decks I'd recommend for someone coming from a rup/like their rup
Flight 19
District v2
Proto 4 x 19
Phoenix 4.0

Best decks once you get used to them
Flight 20
Proto 4.5 x 20
Frid
Phoenix reventon
TSI flowmaster
District v2i

Decks that I wouldnt get
Blunt
MGP
