Going from Babolat Pure Aero Tour to Wilson Blade 98 18x20 CV

[FIRETennis]

I'm currently using a Babolat Pure Aero Tour with Luxilon ALU Power Soft 16L at 55lbs (25kg).
Considering demoing the Wilson Blade 98 18x20 CV (previous model not v7) looking for more control and bit less stiffness.
Any suggestions on what tension I should go for since it's a new string pattern and lower stiffness... 50-52lbs (22.5-23.5kg) ?

Man anytime I switch I use the same tension to eliminate variables and next string job adjust from there. Imho it would be guessing game otherwise

^^^ this is good advice

I would go ALU Power .17 around 48lbs. These rackets are almost polar opposite from each other.

I agree with this when testing different strings in the same racquet but when changing racquets to polar opposites, as the other poster mentioned, I can imagine there needs to be a tension change.
The Wilson is less stiff and has a different string pattern than the Babolat so I would imagine lower tension? Kittens (and my wallet) would cry if I end up having to cut out the ALU Power at 25kg/25kg from it
