I'm a newbie-intermediate footbag player. I have kicked with dirty juice faciles, mr. sandbags, a standard abshire (qphox's), and a lonn bag (brett's). The dirty juice faciles have a nice feel, but are a bit too light for my taste. The mr. sandbags I find a bit more difficult to feel, are more difficult to set, but are much easier to delay. The abshire and lonn bag were good for my sets and promoted good clipper delays... However, the lonn bag was a bit heavier and smaller and for me much easier to feel. I use leather lavers (without the leather mod) and have been working very hard on sets (pixie, atomic, quantum, ducking) where I find being able to feel the bag makes things much easier. Ergo, a heavier bag and it's POSitive of being easier to feel is what lead me to purchase a mini abshire. (it just arrived today! hooray!)
PS - Interesting that the mini abshire has a market for footbag players with smaller feet... I wouldn't have though of that. I just recently ordered women's size 7 US lavers for a friend (pink and white!) of mine. Her feet are tiny. I'll have to see how she finds the mini.
