Then you've got people on this forum saying it's the other way around...so which is it?
The Cartels have traditionally been stiffer, but the 2013 model has gotten softer. I haven't been able to compare them to the 2013 Malavitas, but I do know that the 2013 Cartels definitely feel softer to me than my 2012 Cartels.
