I dont have a lot to compare with. Bought my Pilot 210 right after only flying sdudent mains. Just like to say that it is very beginner friendly, started using it at around 30 jumps and managed to land okay with zero wind conditions. Says more about the main than about my "skills" I'm jumping a 168 now @ 130 jumps. I only made 1 jump on a 190 before going to the 168. Easy to land (wl now 1,3) for a novice, good flare power.
Edit: I recently demoed a sabre2 150. I have to agree with some of the other posters, that the pilot can become a bit boring compared to a sabre2 for instance. And while the openings are great, they dont leave a lot of time to work out problems before chop altitude, because in my case it takes about 800-900 ft to open.
Hook turns can be done as far as toggle pressure goes, but due to the quick recovery you have to start really low.
