Turrets are definitely softer/spongier than the Razor, if clicky turrets are your preference.
Read this yesterday and couldn't believe it and after pulling out my Vudoo with the S3 on it this morning to clean I still can't. Spongy? Hardly. They are tactile and audible. No sponginess at all. They are better than my first Gen III and after I sent it in and got it fixed the turrets were harder to turn and more tactile and audible. Harder with a deeper feel of the Gen III is just a different feel. Doesn't make the S3 spongy at all. It's easier to spin fast which is nice.
