A pair of matched (TW service) and weighted (myself) Head Microgel Radical midplus are my current sticks with a PT 630 as the third wheel. I love the feel (soft), control, and the thud it makes. Relatively less brassy than many of the newer frames I've hit with this past year during my racquet search. My goal was to find a racquet that felt similar to the discontinued Wilson PS 90s and at $90 a pop on TW, that's quite the deal. 2 matched frames are still cheaper than 1 new racquet!!!

You can add weight, but you can't take it away"
This is VERY impt to acknowledge! Like what
@mhkeuns and several others have said, this is a platform frame, which means that the stock form is a baseline to build on. Therefore, platform frames usually come a bit lighter and have an even balance because manufacturers expect players to customize. While some may use a platform frame without any modification, platforms really shine after some tuning. Experienced players will suggest you find a racquet with a feel you like. Then, customize it to your game.
"
You should modify the racquet to fit your game, NOT fit your game around a frame".
@BrokenGears, you should try both. OS frames are more forgiving on off center shots and more powerful. Since you're looking for more control and already have power, midplus sounds better imho. Over the last 20 years, I've found midplus to "feel" better than its OS versions. I disliked the OS Radicals, but Agassi is a tennis god who used OS frames even back when our graphite options were only between mid (90 sq in) vs. mid plus.
Try both and see which one "feels" better. Try not to focus on whether you're hitting in/out or how hard you're hitting. Focus on whether or not you like how it feels. Then, you can take your current racquet's specs as a baseline to modify the platform frame. This gives you a chance to try the racquet with specs that match your current mechanics. Try hitting with the version 1 modification for a while. Are you liking the pace of your ball? Are you satisfied with the power? Are you hitting your marks? Can you handle the weight for the amount of time you spend on court? Then, you can fine tune the mods for V2.
FWIW, I'm at V1 with added lead all over the frame and a TON of weight to the handle + leather grip (noon=4g, 3/9=8g, handle = 20g). The only thing that bothers me about this frame is the color schema (sorry to everyone who likes it). Once I find a set of strings I like, I'm going to replace the grommets with the Head cap and remove some weight from the 3/9. Maybe I'll repaint it all black.
