think i did alright with both seeing as it was the first time i had flown a kite since i was a wee boy.
The bigger one was fun, but think whilst i'm getting the hang of it may just go for a smaller one, think i would get the hump to quicly being dragged across the field!!! lol
Oh sod it, might just get both!

Had a great time chaps....thanks for letting me use your kites. 
The 2.5 was so tiring, trying to stop myself from being dragged around the field Great fun though. The smaller one was quite relaxing to use afterwards as it didn't take quite as much strength. The trouble is you soon get bored and want the bigger one back again! Looks like one of each may be required.

Baring in mind you haven't actually flown it yet
The Blade is a completely different kind of kite, loads more lift along with the power

All that will be out of the window when your flying through the air, panic will set in then a change of undies will be required, and some crutches to walk with

Nice one mate , Great to have your own kites , Read a couple of reviews on both kites & both sound great to start of with & see how you get on , It's easy to upgrade @ a latter date
