anytime gaston, i love the spektra, with me I run mine around ide say 8-8.5 for black and grey and color blending with the stroke provided on it, and with lining and filler no more than 9v. I Used the Flite V2 and Loved it as well, but imo this edge x outbeats anything ive tried and ive gone trough machine after machine and always go to my fk;s, direkt halo and now the edge which i have stuck with since i got it. Adjusting the give and a lot of you guys know that I never was fond of give machines too much, I found barely opening it up with the smallest amount of give gave me the best results in my work. not only that but the movement of the machine and how it fits in your hand i forget that its even there because its never in the way.
