Clash V2 98 vs Blade 100 V8

Hi, I have a Clash 98 V2 with Tecnifibre Triax 16G @ 56lbs (got to this this combination looking for some balance between control and power, with arm friendliness), and I have been enjoying the combination. I've played with Blade 98 V7 with a poly string (I guess the Hyper G), and it was great for a few games but too demanding for me afterwards.

My question is I may be buying a second Clash, but I've been wondering how would the Blade 100 V8 compare with my Clash 98 V2, considering the Blade 100 should be more powerful than the Blade 98, maybe closer to the Clash, with more control, and a bigger sweet spot (which of course can be good for my level) and I maybe can use with less tension on the Triax if more power is needed... I'm 53, 3,5/4 NTRP. I'm not in the US, so it's not easy to get hold of test raquets and the Blade 100 seems not to be as easy to find around, so could anyone comment?

Thanks!

Blade 100 will not be more powerful with it's tinner beam. Comfort will be similar and control will be better by Blade.

Thanks. What do you think about the Blade sweet spot, will it be bigger, more forgiving or worse as it is for more advanced players?
