TSF Shell vs SPB Shell 3D

I have no experience with TSF, but SPB is very good (though relatively non-configurable). Another option is ADW Launcher EX. Although it's not positioned as a 3D launcher, its "Vertical 4D" app drawer style (with the "Fade to black" option set) is the best 3D effect I've seen.
 
I guess it depends - I use spb on my tablet ; and tsf on my phone I'd say that tsf is faster. Both devices are quad core.


But I often switch back to apex as I like that a lot
 
Well the only problem I have is I want to try to use TSF Shell on my tablet and phone and it is not available on the Nexus 7 tablet. I just want to know if TSF is worth it. I also don't want to but both because I am using the $25 credit that came with the Nexus 7 tablet
 
Is getting an update a good thing? Plus people have said TSF Shell is smoother, and the resizing is nice, so I can't decide. I really want to buy one of them, although TSF doesn't support the Nexus 7 nor does it show up in its market. I would also like to be able to use it for my RAZR as that has both and I would love to have one of the 3D launchers

I consider it a good thing; means the developer is fixing bugs and/or adding new features.
 
I've never messed with tsf but I at one point purchased spb when I was on my galaxy s og and to say the least very buggy and laggy, since then before I rooted and flashed ics to my evo 3d go launcher ex was my daily driver for a solid year
 
I also just wanted to know because TSF is also not available on the Nexus 7 tablet? i think it have. good info to me ,thanks for ervery.
 
Here is my take..

TSF: This is a totally different experience with a lot of new cool features. They don't make the phone work better really.. they just just allow the interface to look different. It's fun but not really what I liked after playing with both for a while. Not to mention TSF is expensive. Also the widgets are limited and really more annoying than anything. Sure they are fun for a little bit but after a while they get kind of annoying.

Pros: Great interface, highly customizable, very different than the norm.

Cons: Expensive, learning curve, and bland widgets.

SPB: Very nice, I use this as my daily driver. It's really easy to use even the very first time and the 3D effects really set it apart. I can't remember the price but it wasn't that much.

Pros: Beautiful, great widgets, easy to use.

Cons: Not quite as flexible as TSF, app drawer for this one will have you missing the default ICS app drawer.
