New Dunlop M5.0 Release Date? Comparison to AG 4D 500?

[TripleB]

My daughter currently uses the Dunlop AeroGel 4D 500 (non-Tour version) racquet. Looking to upgrade pretty soon and am wondering if anyone knows when a new version of the M5.0/500 might be coming out?

Looking to get it before Summer break so if it's going to be very soon I'd be interested in seeing what the new version's specs are, or see if the M5.0 goes on a nice discount here at T-W.

Also, can anyone compare the M5.0 to the AG 4D 500?

Thanks.

Tough to compare, because string tension and type really affect the play of stiffer frames.
I have 3 Aero500's weighted to 11 oz and 320 SW's with 12" of 1/4" lead at 10-2 and the same 12" up the handle from the butt. Actually, 2, because I stripped one back to stock as a constant.
I've hit with 4DAero500's, and they feel slightly light to me.
Bio500T's feel stiffer, and lighter to swing.
M5T, I've hit with once, for less than 10 shots, and feels like an APD to me, just like all the other 500's.
Except for mine, all the rest were strung in the higher 50's, much too tight for my preference. My 3 are strung at 51 with some Dunlop string not Silk nor Ice.
I forgot, but will remember soon, moment of old age.
