Hi all, I'm US based and collected MFB back in high-school and want to get back into Beyblade. I'm not as impressed with Hasbro's Slingshock & Hypersphere lines (other than having random fun with the kids) but I love the quality and unique gimmicks of the TT Beys. I loved having a large collection of MFB parts that I could dump out, and have each player create a unique 'personal' combo to battle, then switching parts out to "tune" their Bey for the next battle - having fun with the gimmicks and different tips, etc.
I want that same experience with Burst, so I assume I should pick a layer system and focus on collecting TT Beys within that series. I'm not interested in being 'competitive' in the broad sense: I prefer to focus on part compatibility and unique gimmicks. I'm still trying to get my mind around what makes one system different from the next, other than the size/weight progression (new Beys being larger/heavier) and each layer system not being compatible with the previous/next layer system.
Question #1: Is there a substantial difference between the God, Cho-Z, Gatinko, Superking Layer Systems (other than the increasing size/weight, and the incompatibility with other systems). Does one series have more gimmicks, lower quality parts, higher number of Beys, better customization, etc.?
Question #2: Given that I don't care about being tournament-competitive, what other factors should I consider when selecting a series to collect? Or is each series basically identical (minus size/weight/power creep) and I should only look at average price for Beys and parts?
To me it seems the differences are mainly to drive collectors and competitors to get the "bigger and better" series to stay up-to-date and competitive. If that's not important to a collector, I can't seem to find any significant difference between the systems.
Thoughts? Should I just sit on my hands until the rumored Hasbro Pro-line and Speedstorm series are released and wait to start there?

1. Yes, the weight increases by a lot each generation, although the first releases of the new series is close in weight to the end of the previous season.
2. Factors you should consider before purchasing is how fun a system is and customization.
TT is more competitive than hasbro, but Hasbro has more fun. I would recommend waiting for the current season to end however as it’s very close to finishing, and patience is a virtue.

In my opinion the older generations have less customization, for example single layers and dual layers only have three parts, disc driver and layer. However, in God, the customization is upped a little. You have god chips, the layer, disc, sometimes frame, and driver. Next you have Cho-Z, which usually had 3-4 parts, with the exception of the Phoenix beys and the Xtend+ driver. Fourth, you have GT which in my opinion you could customize the most. You have the chip, the weight, the layer base, the disc, and the driver. There are some exceptions like Hybrid and Ignition’ where they are a disc and driver combined, but that doesn’t really matter. Finally, we have the most competitive system with the Sparking system. There is a chip core (sometimes), a chip, a layer base, a chassis (single or double. With single chassis you can use discs and disc-driver combos. Double chassis remove the disc feature.), and finally you have the driver. Those are all the systems in Beyblade Burst. Hope this helped!

Also I forgot to mention, god layers all have a gimmick, Cho-Z layers all have metal. GT and Sparking are just new, heavier, systems. To answer your question, yes, there is quite a difference between generations.
EDIT: I didn’t see that you checked beywiki, so here’s a short answer. Yes, there are reasons you should buy a specific generations beys because of a few main reasons. Competitiveness, how much you can customize, and just which generation you find fun!
because every season different cool names and new burst systems and new parts and they're way stronger than the season before them
so if you go to a tornament i recommend you take the curennt season beys

Yeah I also didn’t mention that there are new parts introduced in things like starters or boosters, so when you buy those you get new (sometimes) tournament competitive parts.
