In my experience there's not much difference. Maybe a tiny wee bit of weight, but thats it.

Why not repair the mono mini? All parts available and its easy to strip and rebuild with new seals

i am going to call hope mon to see if it can be fixed, basically the piston nearest the wheel will not retract more than halfway in, i have cleaned, removed oil. removed piston, nothing makes a difference ,the other side piston is fine it is like something is blocking the retraction and ihave removed caliper to get better access, so if i cant get a new one, it is the ols back and gold one i need new ones

The reach adjusters on the juicy 3 are a screw. The juicy 5 has a click adjust

To remove the levers on the juicy 3 they have to be slid on and off the end of the bars. The juicy 5 has a split clamp.

The juicy 3 has dot4 fluid and the juicy 5 has dot5.1

I don't think there are any differences in performance.
