Well, it's just Zero G but Hasbro and both are awesome, so there's your answer, haha.

Another random thought, I've been doing terrible with attack since last night. I can't seem to KO some of the easiest to KO defense types (even using freaking WB lol). It's been VERY frustrating.

For a very long time ago where Beyblade is still hot in HK, I sometimes insist using uncustomed Galaxy Pegasis.
When comparing with attack beys which uses significantly heavier MWs, it seems that with similar launching power and mint of r2f and stuff, Galaxy is noticably faster (but also easier to stadium out itself as well).

Of course in raw strength Galaxy Pegasis is no match to the big bullies, but is it really true that lighter metal wheels will cause greater speed? If that's so, light metal wheels may find some use to go on with, such as making use of Galaxy in limited format.

Weight is an advantage for the most part, a light attack wheel has trouble KOing defence and will get knocked out easier.

Even in plastics, there are cases where a combination can be too light to handle certain opponents even with speed, but generally as plastic is lower recoil, going for lighter weight for higher speed is generally good. However, it's worth noting that despite being the most externally distributed weight disk, few attack types can use Wide Survivor simply because it's too light, so even there you have a balance that you need to get right, it's just a lot more weighted towards speed over weight.

In MFB, recoil is much, much higher, so the balance tends to lean a lot more towards being heavier rather than faster (and it's also worth mentioning that weight distribution plays a huge part in speed as well, so heavier but wide, edge-focussed wheels *can* move faster than lighter ones. It is still all about finding the right balance though, and in Limited, LLD's speed is IMO a big part of its power (especially because half of its contact points are plastic).

Galaxy, however, will never find use. I actually tried it again yesterday trying to get anything out of it and it was completely ineffectual against even CS-tipped defense (which aren't even legitimate defense combos in Limited, instead CS is a balance tip) with a height advantage and everything (was aiming to make use of the contact points on top of the wheel). Completely awful part.
