I changed canopies from a spectre to a sabre2 and I can't say enough good things about it.

I just sold my Spectre, my Sabre 2 should be here Jan. 10. Woohoo. I put about 30 jumps on a demo Sabre 2 in September and I was sold. Nice openings, very responsive, tons of flare power. I can't wait for my vacation in Feb. so I can put some jumps on my new canopy. E-mail or call PD and they'll send you a demo for two weeks. It only costs $30, plus return shipping, which was around $18 from NY. Just a note of caution: if you demo one, you'd better be prepared to order one. I probably would've asked to buy the demo if the colors weren't ugly, I really hated to send it back. Just my $.02, YMMV.

My last 280 or so jumps have been on a Spectre 190 that I load about 1.3. This afternoon, I had the opportunity to put two jumps on a friend's demo Sabre 2 170 before he returned it. Two jumps probably aren't enough to give a valid comparison, but I wasn't that impressed with the Sabre 2 vs the Spectre. I found the turns and flare to be very similar between the two and didn't have any problems with the switch, but the Spectre definitely dives more in turns and to me, it feels faster when landing (perhaps due to the ground rush from the steeper glide angle). I'm not saying that the Sabre 2 is a bad canopy, to me it just wasn't different enough from my Spectre, and I really love my Spectre. I'd definitely suggest a demo before trading in your Spectre for a Sabre 2.
