Unfortunately i think that the factory tuned effect is all gone by the time Big Dippers are available in French stores (tested the big dipper at a local tt-retailer shop called misterping, maybe you know, they have a huge stock of yinhe products including rubbers, blades, grips...etc...), the Big Dipper felt really really slow when I tested it (brand new out of the box, they mounted the bad just in front of my eyes with Yinhe T11 and red Moon speed + black Big Dipper 39°). The moon speed felt so much faster, bouncier, springier than the big dipper, almost like an european tensor. And i tested the rubbers again 3 days later with the same feelings.
I recovered the pictures (not great pictures i admit ) of the racket, i posted a quick review on a french forum as well:

I think that moon speed will be FAR MUCH appreciated than Big Dipper by european players imho, the moon speed was at least one category of speed faster than the big Dipper (il moon speed is off rubber, then Big dipper is allround/allround+ rubber) and was really an alternative to european tensors. Plus I can say that the moon speed keeps its speed and tension for quite a long time, I use mine to test new blades I purchase and after 4+ month, my moon speed is still as fast as a new one.
To sum up : Moon speed has a throw angle a bit lower than the big dipper, i would say medium/low throw (while big dipper is medium/neutral throw), moon speed is a lot faster (a would say at least one, almost two categories of speed above the big dipper) and a bit less tacky than Big Dipper. The chinese rubber that has the closest feel to european tensors. I really think Moon Speed would please european players far more than Big Dipper.
