How do the echo star destroyers fly compared to g star, the factory second echo stars are only $8 which is a steal. Are they domey? Also hows the plastic? Feel and durability?

I know the echo star plastic in general doesn't get a ton of love from most people, but I really like my echo destroyers. Grippier then your average star without being flexible or floppy at all. Mine all have a bit of a dome, not extreme by any stretch. Threw nice and stable brand new and broke in really nicely. I'm bagging 2 echo's right now and love them.
Ive been calling them half vulcan tops lol but they r all quite beefy. But this newest run is really flat and overstable from what ive seen
Some of the new echos with the mini robot stamp have a bit of a pop top and super low plh and are flippy. I've seen a handful of red ones like this.
I've handled quite a few reds in stores and they were all like this. I own one and it was super flippy out of the box. Actually I own a couple red stars as well with big pop top domes but they bomb: only slightly flippy and they always come back unless there is a headwind. I look for the red stars in the high 160s now for precisely that reason.

I picked up a Echo Destroyer from Spinners purely on cosmetics(it's real purty), and I must say I'm loving it lots right now. A ton of glide, with a touch of turn, and a consistent forward fade...and did I mention it's super pretty? Well... it is. There is a dome, and it's considerable, but it doesn't interfere with a comfortable grip IMO. I seriously think this one has more glide than my old Pro plastic Destroyers.... which is saying something.

did i miss the boat on those green holiday stamped SDS or are they not out yet?
Can any of your Destroyer Destroyers help me out here? I picked up a pop-top G* Destroyer at a tourney recently. Any info as to their availability? I haven't had another one quite like it. Are these rare or desirable for any reason? It flies quite a bit different than what I'm used to...
IMO the best destroyers are those with good dome. It might make them a touch more stable, but they also complement that with very good glide. Some of the longest drives I've ever thrown have been with domy Star Destroyers. The flatter the Destroyer the less overall performance I get out of it.
I agree with you on Star Destroyers. However, the EStars and GStars I've seen/thrown with pop tops have had significantly lower PLH and have been quite a bit LESS stable than their non-pop top counterparts. So I would say the way they mold up makes those generally less desirable than pop top stars.
