On paper they play much the same, so price and feel decide.
Better buy now: the Vertex 04. It plays at least as well on paper and costs € 35.00 less in Netherlands.
Still in doubt? The racket finder checks both against your level, side and arm. Open the racket finder →

Better where both are weak: control 7.5 against 4.5 and 4, and otherwise close to the two.
