Anyone with experience with 2015 Blade 98S vs 2015 Pro Staff 97S? Which is better and why?

Which is better, the 98s or the 97s, and why?

Which is better, the 98s or the 97s, and why?

For me the 97S.

More predictable, better control, better feel, more stable, better string life (though still not amazing, at least 15G strings aren't a requirement).

Thanks. That's what I'm talking about. Anyone else have an opinion, based on experience.

Blade 98s feels too light and flimsy to me, when compared to PS97s (and to '15 Blade 98 16x19). One less cross string and .5oz makes a difference.
