if you do a little more research you might find the 06 vegas to be one of the better kites to go for second hand. seen them sold for 500 bucks including new lines ....

some people claim they were one of the best kites for 06... duno about that myself. but do your research and shop around! the 08 vegas is more based on the 06 as the 07 seemed to be a turd or something.. i duno.. only flown an 06.

sorry cant be of help realy

i know the 06 and the 07 fuels
they are both good kites -
the 07 has a bit more power and low end grunt than the o6

have an 05 12m vegas since new and still use daily.no prob.have 06 rhino but bit worried about cam batt breaking.had one 06 for half hour and tore panel..is good kite once know what capable of.depower is ok but depends what lines you get.some have different knots for back lines.also depends what you were taught on.bow or c..am happy with kite though..spray with silicone and will last longer as well.if drop water is gone lot quicker...

I have always ridden Fuels and cannot recommend them enough, however the 06 was lacking in the low end compared to the 07. I cannot comment on the Vegas as I have only ridden one a couple of times, certainly not enough to compare the two.

Cheers
