I come across a local offer of the Steelpad 5L for around US$30, second-hand (used for less than 10 times, in good condition). I wonder it is worth getting it now, considering it is an old pad. Can anyone compare 5L with some modern pads, like Talent, Hien, Goliathus, etc?

Steelpad 5L Release Note (Click to show)
SteelSeries, a market leader in gaming accessories owned and operated by Soft Trading, today announced the release of SteelPad 5L.
SteelPad 5L combines the best of two worlds; the durability and stability of hard plastic, as well as the softness and smoothness of a cloth. The SteelPad 5L is composed of five different layers, with each layer contributing to the overall precision and feel of the pad.
The result is a truly unique mouse pad – and a very remarkable gaming surface.
The first layers consists of plastic coating on a cloth material, utilising the strength and durability of plastic and the feel of quality cloth. The middle layer is composed of specially designed soft rubber foam to provide the feeling of softness. The bottom layers provide stability, as a highly durable plastic layer guarantees the shape of the pad, followed by small soft rubber elements offering complete non-slip steadiness.

I have QcK, Hien Mid and Shiden-kai XSoft. My mice are G500 and Savu. Obviously I am buying it not out of need, but out of curiosity.
