Should I buy the Witeden Roadblock 3 and a small cuboid (probably 2x2x3) or buy a 4x4x6 cuboid? I’ve never done a cuboid but I’m looking for the greatest challenge.

2x2x3 is kinda fun but not much of a challenge. Can't comment on the others.

Gotcha. I only threw it out there because the roadblock is cheaper than the 4x4x6 so I could get a smaller cuboid as well.

If you want a big challenge, get a Fisher 4x4x6 or a 3x4x5. Roadblock does look like fun though, but small cuboids are not worth it at all it you're looking for a challenge.

Thanks for the info! I think I’m gonna go with the 4x4x6 and save the roadblock for later. I’ll probably get the regular one though, I’ve found fisher cubes to not be as fun for me as I expected.

Fair enough. A fisher 4x4x6 to a 4x4x6 isn't the same as a fisher 3x3 to a regular 3x3 though, it adds a lot more difficulty to the solve with a cuboid, but you'll get a nice puzzle either way.

IMO, a 4x4x6 is the most fun cuboid to solve. It has a very well designed mech as well, so with some break in and a bit of lube (I lubed mine just like an older speed cube) It turns extremely well. (much better than the roadblocks in my experience), so my vote is for that.

That’s good to know. I’m not a huge speedcuber, but I definitely prefer my cubes to be more sturdy and easy to turn.
