What is Reddit's opinion of Custom Gambler Professional Table Tennis Paddle with ThermoPoly (TP) Carbon Blade and Wraith Rubber Plus Paddle Case?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

If you're coming from a Stiga pro carbon and have been playing for 3 years, I'd say you need to try a legitimate beginner paddle first before buying a 250 dollar setup that will send everything 3 feet past where you are aiming.

Even something as cheap as this Gambler premade will be much faster than your Stiga: https://www.amazon.com/Gambler-Custom-Professional-Tennis-Paddle/dp/B012DOVXQK

more than you ever need if you are going to play just 3x a month. wipe it down every now and then with just a little bit of water in your hand.

How much is shipping? $34 might be a stretch, but I may go for it as a Christmas gift. If I have to pay about $10 for shipping, I'm gonna pass.

How does it compare to this: https://www.amazon.com/Custom-Professional-Tennis-Paddle-Gambler/dp/B012DOVXQK

Also - how would I customize it? Which blade do I get and which thickness should I go for?
