The verdict

On paper they play much the same, so price and feel decide.

Better buy now: the Galactica OS. It plays at least as well on paper and costs € 9.00 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: power 7 against 2.5 and 3, and otherwise close to the two.
