Hi,
I'm the guy who wrote the test report for KITE & friends. If you're able to read german I can scan the article and email it to you.
To summarize the test report in one sentence: I really liked the canardo, because it's easy to trick, its very precise for its size and it gave me a nice solid feeling at the end of the lines. A very predictable kite!
It's hard to compare the Canardo to the other kites you mentioned, but let's give it a try. I've never flown the Cesium but I know the DS and The Fury very well. Both are in my bag and both are kites I really like. The Canardo is much more precise than the DS and easier to trick than the Fury. All in all it's more on the Fury's side because it is a kite designed for competition - not a freestyler as the DS.
The Fury has its advantages at speed control (that's even good at the Canardo) and is easier to land and to comete. The Canardo is much better at backspins, jacob's ladders and lazy susans that need a little practice with the Fury.
