Yo i have been on reos since 2013 and currently on 2015 model. Long story short i head north in a week and need a new kite and theres a couple of decend slingys for sale for reasonable price. Do they compare at all to the reos?
Great reviews here:

I have 6, 8 10 and 12 2016 SST kites
After one year I notice the following
1-amazing high end wind.
2-you can control the kite when your are flying the kite on the high winds
3-Drifting the best
4-Material and construction very good
5-I like the compact bridle.
6-ok up wind.I was using a Duke board but when I swapped to a North WIP 2017 the upwind got a lot better
7-REO turns better
8-When looping the kite it pulls to much down wind. I compared it with my NEO kites.
9-low end normal.
10-amazing relaunch
I am keeping the SST kites.
Would I buy another SST kites quiver, no. I prefer NEO kites.
cheeres
The new V4 Reo is unbelievable, have had a few crew trade in the SST's
Say no more !!!
I have talked to guys that had the choice of using either and went for SST, but then again I recon you should try before you buy
