As a long-time 5BN user, I recently tried out the Terra 5BN. In my opinion, there’s no significant difference in performance. That said, they do look and feel a little different. I really like the visual design, and the feel/grip is quite appealing. Anyone who’s dedicated to the 5BN shouldn’t worry about wasting money on something they can’t use—you’ll like them. Will you switch permanently? Well, a few gigs will tell. Try them out folks.
