i've actually heard that the stock is much thinner which makes it easier to do certain flourishes. a lot of people talk about the thin stock in their reviews. I'd go read some.
I actually got mine today in the mail and all I have to say is WOW! I was not expecting this deck to be so smooth. They make the cliftshift easier to accomplish and the back design is cooler than I thought. The cards are really thin! I give it a 4.5 out of 5. Im definitly buying some more!
