Difference between FXP Radical and FXP Prestige?

[jaded]

How much of a difference is there between the FXP Radical and the FXP Prestige? I'm not talking about the basic racquet specs, what I'm really trying to find out is what the differences are in game play and any other info you care to provide.

Here are the technical specs for each (Midplus on each, since that's what I would use):

FXP Prestige:
Head Size:
98 sq. in. / 632 sq. cm.

To me it looks like they are very similar, so I'm wondering what the deciding factors are between the Radical and the Prestige.

Thanks for all input.

The balance is much different. For the first thing.

Does the different in balance favor either of the two racquets? I'm not that familiar with what the points mean for head light.
