Which blades? Are you looking at new blades and trying to work out which you like best? A little lost in the difference between them.
The biggest mistake is comparing blade models when each pair are set up differently, a different radius and bend will drastically change the feeling between identical models. So you need to have some kind of constant when comparing, or at least know the setup differences to factor into your comparison.
Then you have the old national team blades, that have work hardened in daily use and competition battle and not had a fresh radius or bend check.
