Need Demo suggestions

Need demo suggestions for my girlfriend and I. She currently uses the Yonex RQiS 1 Tour XL 95 Lite. She's 5'1" 105lbs. She's a 3-3.5 player. She will probably use this frame for awhile longer to develop technique but I am thinking she needs a more powerful larger frame. She just wants a new shiny racquet because I am getting one. She demoed the APDGT PDGT and the BLX Tour. She was bias on looks and now realizes she just wants what fits her best. She seems to like a more near balanced racquet the best.

I'm a 4.0 player currently using the PB10mid. I'm having troubles hitting my 2HBH with it. This is largely due to technique but I am also wondering if something around 100 head size would help this out and by how much. So far I have chose to demo the Ozone Tour MP and the Head Speed 16x19. Before choosing the PB10mid I tried the Speed 18x20 and thought it to be too powerful. I believe I can handle the extra power (and am wanting it) now. I know tripleb is happy with his Ozone tour and those specs look exactly what I am wanting.
Steer suggestions around my desired specs please:
Around
11.5-12 strung weight
100 sq inch head size
Open String pattern is a must
60 flex
4-8 points headlight

BLX 6.1 95 16x18

YTK Prestige Pro

But really I would just keep ur PB10 and focus on ur game, U have a GREAT stick already and i really doubt ne other racquet will make ur BH ne better.

Good luck

Thanks for the replies. I want to look at options but I am not optomistic that they will be game changers. I won't give up on my PB10mid unless they are.

BLX 6.1 95 16x18 - Ive tried the 18x20 pattern but didnt feel it to be a solid stick. I also was hitting with it side by side to the tour so this would obviously effect that feeling.
YTK Prestige Pro - Tried the MG Prestige Pro and just didn't feel right. Not sure what. Not precise enough.
Gamma T-7 - Specs look right up my alley. With it not being made anymore would cause some problems trying to locate it though.

Babolat drive z - Interesting suggestions. Specs look great for her thank you. How does it compare with the Pure Drive lite? She has tried the pure drive but didnt like it. I feel she might like the balance of the lite better.
Wilson BLX Pro Open - I have tried this one but asume the suggestion is for her list. I was also thinking the same and showed it to her. She said she would like to try it.

Still looking for demo suggestions for my girlfriend. While she loves her racquet, I am concerned her grip is too big. She has to grip the racquet too tightly and while praticing net drills her hand hurts because of this. She currently uses a 1/8th grip size so going down to a even would majorly limit her options. Since the TW racquet finder doesnt include grip size its hard to find possiblities. So far Im thinking Babalot Puredrive lite, Babalot Aero Pro drive team, and Prince Red. Below are pictures to help conclude if her grip is too large or I am wrong? My hand is held next to hers for comparison (I use 3/8 but could use 1/4 with my thick over grips).
