The more research and asking around regarding kites - the more questions I have. There are lot of kite manufacturers out there and there is a big variance in prices. I was wondering if someone has had experience with several different styles of bow kites and know if you get what you pay for. For example, Waroos are relatively inexpensive - do they compare to the North Rebel or Rhino? What about the Links. And then there are other bow manufacturers - monkey kites, cautions kites - all in different price ranges.

I had originally thought about going with Waroos - I have heard a lot of positive feedback about the windrange, ability to handle gusts, relaunchability, stability and so forth. But then talking to people about the new Rhinos - those sound incredible!! Whats a guy to do?

As a general rule.... You get what you pay for. That being said you have to decide what your budget is and what you can live with.
