It is better than the original Max in my opinion.  I use the pussy sleeve and it has a fairly soft feel to it.  The contractions and vibrations are also improved.  The main fault with most male sleeves is that the vibration is at the tip, so you have very little teasing until you reach the end of your thrust.  This one runs along the tube, allowing you to enjoy the vibrations throughout.  The nobby inside works well with the contractions, which are my personal favorite aspect.
