i agree about the rattan's soulwire.... theyre absolutely crap, i have no idea how they got so popular to be honest 
Rattans... They are too light and floaty for me...and I like a med-light chuck..but rattans is just like toilet paper, rolled up into a nunchaku. Matter of fact, I bet you could probably wipe with those things.

(now I have to use rattans in my next video! Spinning them that is..)
I think rattans work if you don't do a ton of passes or aerials.. I thought they were awesome at first... I was like "holy crap! These are the lightest things ever. I can spin them so fast!" but as I got into aerials and more passes...I started to feel sick...I began to throw up all over those chucks. They are pukey now. But there was a time...ahhh....
