More powerful: Yonex RDS 002 or RDS 002 Tour?

It looks like these rackets are about 1 or 1.1 oz apart in weight. The non-tour has thicker beam than the "tour" version.

Could somebody tell me the main differences between the two? Which has more power, better control, more ability for spin, etc.?

I'm thinking the "tour" version might be a tad too demanding for me as matches go longer (due to static weight and swing weight).

These seem like two great sticks and I'm having a hard time deciding. I'm a 4.5-5.0 power baseliner who has a semi-western grip. I like to hit a combination of slice, topspin and flat groundies and come into the net at select times. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!!--also, will there be a RDIS 002 non-tour and tour coming out?? Do you think they'll be an upgrade over the RDS versions?
 
I haven't hit with the Tour version but the mass and stiffness will likely make it more powerful than the non tour.

But are you capable of swinging such a heavy frame? Have you used 12 oz racquets?

I know that for me the non tour would be more powerful bc I wouldn't be able to swing a frame as heavy as the tour version fast enough for very long.
