no choice at all.
contra.

i'm not affiliated with cabrinha in any way. in fact, i don't even like their kites much. but the contra's a cool kite.
the x4 is way too slow.

apart from that: with the contra you have a lot more fun than with the gaastra or x4.

if you are going to use it alot then spend more for the contra

if it sits around most of the time then go cheap x4
