Help choosing a new Babolat aero pro racquet

I’ve been using the original 2004 aeropro drive for as long as I can remember but I’m feeling that they will soon give up on me. I’ve heard that the new 2023 pure aero is the most similar one to the original apd. Anyone that can confirm that or recommend me something else? I really like the APD and it suits my play style but I haven't tried anything new in ages. Any recommendations are welcome. Thanks

Edit: all court player but prefer baseline rallies, heavy top spin forehand and one-handed backhand
Also I can find used APDs for €130-€180 but don't know if that is worth it

The balance on the aero drives are different and I can't think of anything that will really play like the original aeropro. I'd say try the new current gen but also demo outside of babolat. There is the yonex vcore 100, head extreme, dunlop 300, diadem nova, etc. It's been 20 years. You may find something that suits you better
