I can compare the Polo Revs with Barresi's and B-Pro's from Revolution.
The biggest difference between the Polo and the Barresi/Pro is the fact the Polo's fly earlier (with less wind).
I remember the day i received my Polo STD. It was @ Berck sur Mer kitefestival. Together with Andy we received our Polo's. In the evening we stood on the beach. There was about 3 km/h wind and the Polo's were flying like a miracle.
I owned a Revolution Zen too, especcially for low-wind conditions, but the Polo STD starts even earlier in low wind conditions. Plus the advantage of the lower weight of the kite makes this one for me the ultimate low-wind Rev.
Now i own the Polo Vented too. I was flying it again last Tuesday.
Another pilot flew his B-Pro Mid-Vented with Race Rods, and i was flying my Polo VTD with 3 wrap Rods (which even flew better !!!!!!)
So the Vented flies earlier too, compared to the Barresi's/Pro's.
The difference in placement of the vented panels in the Polo makes this kite perfect controllable, especially in reverse !!!!
The amount of vented surface in the Polo is more compared to the Barresi/Pro's so it will fly better too in higher winds. (bigger windrange)
This all is my opinion/experience. See for yourself what you think about these kites.
Try them when you have got the chance.
