Playtesting Older Heads and Newer Pro Staffs

Not a competition....

just wanted to show you the comparison between the rackets I want to playtest due to their similarities in throat design and its relationship to stability.
The first 2 are the TXP (pt600 mold which Im waiting to arrive) and the Graphite Pro (US version).
The second 2 are the ROK and kps88.

The ROK and the pt600 and the GP against the kps88.
The older head rackets like the comfort edge (which has a shorter throat/longer handle) is super stable and dampened, rock solid and if the graphite pro is anything similar (which i think it is) with its larger 90" head then I can see it knocking the kps88 out of the water.
Whats really interesting to me tho is the pt600. It has a longer/thinner throat for more aero dimensional qualities but does it lose something on stability. From what Ive heard it doesnt but it will be intersting to play against the ROK which has a similar throat and is also super stable.
I honestly think the pro staffs are the only rackets that are in any way similar to the better quality older rackets.

Thanks VS for the top foto (the only one i could find that had similar rackets to the pt600 and the euro GP)
