6ft swallow tail soft tops

I was looking for a shorter soft top board to use at HB, Seal Beach, and Newport. I've been looking for differences and opinions between Catch Sure Odysea, Stormblade, and Wave Bandit on their 6ft swallow tails. Any opinions on the quality and build differences between these three brands?

They all seem very similar in quality and construction. I've only ridden an Odysea for like 10 mins but was impressed. The Stormblade seems like a deal @ $200 with box fins instead of the poke thru fins, can't even find a used Odysea for that much on CL. The Wave Bandit is a little more money than the Storm blade and doesn't have box fins but is at least endorsed by Ben Gravy 🤷‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

I'm not looking for anything high performance, I'm just trying to have fun and do some turns, spins, and get some air. I enjoy the care free life of soft tops.
