I see several forum members here are using Big Dipper which seems really promising. Players like AndySmith and NextLevel - who I am sure have experimented a bit with rubbers and therefore know what they are chosing.

So the question is: Why Big Dipper over an H3 Provincial tuned (not Neo)

is it because Big Dipper saves the hassle of tuning? Because of price maybe?

or is there something about the rubber's properties which makes it a better choice?

Tuned H3 Pro should be pretty fast - does the Big Dipper still offer more power anyway?

Is it more forgiving / easier to play with? Giving more margin of error and saving points?

Does it have any characteristics which H3 does not have?

From what I read in the Big Dipper Mega thread - Big Dipper is a bit worse than all H3 strengths but a bit better than all H3 weaknesses... (power away from the table, blocking out of position, out of position loop, etc...) - is this comparison to a tuned H3 Pro or National?

I just ordered two sheets of Big Dipper and H3/H3 Pro were in my final list of rubber to choose from.  The reason why I went with Big Dipper is because it comes factory tuned and most of all cheaper price.

H3 pro would cost me $50 per sheet plus another $15-$20 for booster.  Not to mention the amount of time it would take to boost before I could actually play with it.

At those prices, I'd rather get Tenergy, M2 or P7.
