I upgraded from Aces to Visions a couple of pairs of skates ago (I'm now in Phantom). I LOVED my Visions. Going from the Aces to the Visions my coach noticed a marked improvement in my turns and spins, but that may also have happened because I went from trashed blades to blades with a rocker. I found I felt more stable on them too. Jumps weren't really affected at all if I remember right.
I'm on my second pair of Visions. I switched from Phantoms when they were redesigned ages ago and my fitter recommended the Visions as being similar in profile. Shop around the Internet for price, though, if you know your size. I ended up saving a lot over what the local skate shop guy wanted to charge me.
Let me know how you like yours!
My coach prefers them over Pattern 99's.. the spin rocker isn't as flat on the Vision compared to the 99.Everyone I know who has them really likes them.
