I have jumped a v-max around 15 time and loved it!! The canopy is a 27 cell crossed braced canopy with HMA's stock with no cascades. This is a camera mans dream canopy! It always opened on heading and reasonably quick, faster than a velo but slower than the traditional 9 cell. It has low front riser pressure you can let them up and if needed pull them back down. The only down fall is being that there is no cascades there is added drag so in my personal opinion this hurts the swoop distance (a lot of that might have to do with the pilot me). This was all on a 99 loaded at 1.8 so from what I was told this canopy will perform better with the wl around 2.0-2.2. I highly recommend getting a demo and trying out this all around fun canopy!!!
