Rode the 15m Juice yesterday 8-15knts wind, did not really like it, I rode it back to back with my 12 varialx and by far preffered my old kite. Juice had higher bar pressure, less upwind drive, and much less smooth in gusts and we have very gusty winds, it also felt like it had same power as my 12. In 15knts it started to be handfull to edge against - I'm 180lbs and canopy seemed to deform alot - owner said it was not pumped correctly.
No bashing , just being honest, but just not my type of kite.

How big of a board are you riding? I'm maybe 160 all geared up and on a 133x39 and I have no problems in 15knts on the juice.
