Quirky,
The Speed II would have more float and bottom end power.
The P4 would be perhaps slightly quicker turning.
The outlaw being open cell is lighter in the air, has heaps of float and is very stable.
It also costs a lot less than the P4 & S2, yet is made with the same technology, material and quality of the rest of the Flysurfer range.
Here is an extract from some notes I made on the kite on another website.
"Marman,
Good review, I don't have much to add to that as you have pretty well said it. I owned Mantas before moving to FS kites and IMO the outlaw is extremely competitive. I 2nd Marmans view on the jet flaps, for a high performance kite it is extremely stable.
For cruising the kite is great, park it low and you can fly it all day.
When the wind picks up I found from about 14-22 knots send it above you and prepare to hold on. A stand out feature for me is trimming the kite in the higher wind ranges, the kite behaves the same as fully powered which is great when you are relying on the kite for freestyle
The float is really good, its not as forgiving as the Speed 2 as in putting it anywhere above you and it will float you back down gently, but still has a wide window above you for hangtime & soft landings.
The kite is very light to fly, it feels light in the bag, and in the air, you can throw it around with indifference when flying it with little to no complaint from the Outlaw.
The design is a standout, my 10m the orange is extremely bright and a good contrast against the black panels. Compared to other similar kites wether you love or hate the aesthetics it stands out from the crowd.
Some people mention the Pulse 2 bar shipped with the Outlaw, personally the bar is functional and is working fine, no issues with the centre eye, 5th line is effective.
The infinity bar would compliment the kite really well IMO. but the kite is coming under the price of the Manta which is a good place to be, adding the infinity bar, would add $$$ that IMO is not necessary. "
Cheers luke
