Both the Joker 9.1 and its Soft version handle extremely well, however the testers actually preferred the regular version of the Joker for two reasons. Firstly, the Soft version was so soft it curled occasionally when feeding into the GriGri, causing it to jam while belaying. Secondly, when flaking the rope over a hand to throw, the slightly stiffer rope kept the loops separate and were less likely to bind when thrown. These however are very minor points.
Beal does make thinner lines than the Joker with Unicore construction, like the Opera 8.5mm (single, 48 g/m) and the Gulley 7.3mm (half/twin — 36 g/m!), and these lines have a useful purpose, particularly for guides or alpinists. But if you want something that can go from a multi-pitch route one day to a long sport route the next, the Joker is the better choice.
