If you have access to the Zeus Olympus alpha I'd say don't bother with Blixt, having used both Olympus is the better wallet, it basically builds on the same concept but adds more functionality and a better UX, but if you're not in the alpha yet it's worth trying out Blixt, it's a nice middle ground between a full node and a light node - lots of customisation and you can open channels to any nodes you want.

We're using the current version of Zeus and it's pretty powerful as long as you have the right connection. We'll just wait for the beta release.
