  The color design looks great but I find that just jacks the price up more bleh.
Looking at the specs of the disc, it looks like it flies more or less like a Orc.

Whats all your opinions on it?

Never thrown a Spectra....

The color printing on the top makes the disc a little more slippy for the thumb.

The Spectras I've thrown fly more like Sidewinders or white Rogues.  They are very understable.

I had mine hanging on the wall but now that we've moved it is probably in a box some where.

Yeah -the full color stamp does make the thumb grip a little rough to start - I haven't thrown mine enough to know if that goes away or not (maybe scrub it on a tree a couple times to get some grit on there for a better thumb grip?)  They are definitely understable - less stable than an Orc.  I agree with Bruce's Sidewinder comparison.

Could I possibly play any worse if I didn't practice putting??

  They say its an Amateur disc so I'm surprised more haven't posted about it.  I thought I found on at my local Walgreens but it sadly turned out to be a Surge :(

 So I just picked one up recently and I gotta say, its awesome!    Everything came together for me during the throw and I sent it 380!

However it is NOT a disc for everyone, especially power players.  It will totally crash and burn if it gets to much on it.  The same goes for the wind.  Any kind of wind out there besides tailwind will really reduce the D you get on it
