Before you start calling me names, yes - I'm aware that neither of these kites are designed for hangtime - but hell - who doesn't like a big floaty boostathon sometimes?
Has anyone had plenty of sessions on both these kites - enough to compare the hangtime/ float of them? I'd be keen to hear what you think.
Thanks.

Unfortunately I can't give you any feedback on the Vegas or Chaos but if you are looking into a Ckite with great hangtime and easy boosting I would recommend the Switch Legacy. Legacy is a high aspect kite (aspect ratio of 5) and has comparable hangtime to almost any other high aspect 4-line bridled inflatable kite.
I have ridden these ckites: Fuel, Hifi-X2, Torch, GP and Legacy....out of all of them the Legacy's hangtime is pretty much the best for the size. Doing landing loops with the Legacy I would often get a "second lift" which rarely happens on any of the other Cs I have flown unless you catch a gust during the heliloop

Chaos gives you a better hangtime. both have more or less the same height. Vegas comes down faster or so it feels.
Both kites work well for boosting as long as its windy as hell and you send it proper
