Hypa is slightly higher swell than brava and Aion is higher than the Hypa from what iv seen ( and Aion iv bought) Aion is a mini players edition as was the chroma but seem to able to get the Aion at lighter weights then often seen the chroma at. Hope that helps

Are they all full profile. I know the Brava was flatter face than the Hypa, how does the Aion compare face wise?

Yes full shape I believe GM use the F2 face now across the range minus the Brava so 2mm camber from centre to edge. I’ll do a little review when I get some time.

I have no doubt of the quality,echoed on here by many,but never see any GM down south and am not in the least tempted at those prices,weird brand loyalty can be so regional

Think regional brand loyalty has always been a thing but I think GM, GN, Kook and some others I'm missing are the bigger brands. Think they have more widespread use, am surprised you haven't seen any GMs but maybe there's trendier brands at the moment.

...they probably look better in the flesh,but bar Romida in Leatherhead,not many retail outlet options in SE now so mainly Newbery,Keeley and GN around my way,with a few Chase/BT Blades/H4L quite noticeable
