New racket for a Gravity Pro user

Hello, I am looking for a new racket. I've been playing with the Head Gravity Pro for a while. I like the racket very much, but it has a small damage now.
I'll probably get a new Gravity unless someone here has a suggestion that might suit me even better.
I would like a racquet that is very similar to the Gravity but has a little more vibration in the arm. This might sound crazy but my first racquet was a TopSpin X95 and I always missed the feeling it gave me a little bit. The TopSpin certainly gave off a lot of vibration to the arm, but maybe there's a racket in between?
Also, I don't find the Gravity super manoeuvrable. In longer matches I sometimes wished for a slightly more maneuverable racquet. Maybe going back to a '98 head would help?! I think the weight itself is quite good, the new racket shouldn't be much lighter. It's hard to describe, the TopSpin racket just felt a little more maneuverable.. On the other hand, I played a little better with the Gravity because it has a noticeably larger sweet spot...

Oh I'm very insecure. I also don't have the opportunity to test different racquets anywhere. So I would order two test rackets from TW....

Do you have an idea what could fit?

Thank you and best regards

The Gravity Tour would be the easiest transition if you are after a more manoeuvrable Gravity Pro. However, both the Speed (not too different from the Gravity) and the Radical (more vibration as you call it) line of rackets might be worth demo'ing.
 
You might want to try the Speed Pro or Radical Pro in their 360+ iterations - I have both of them parallel to my Gravity Pro and they are a bit more direct both.

The Speed is surely as easy to use with the 100sq head and will be a bit more powerful even, while the Radical is more stiff and a bit more precise and faster through the air.
I love what both of them give me and I feel that the Gravity is somewhere right in the middle of it.

Other racquets in my bag, that aren't too far off:
- ProStaff v13 315gr, similar power level but much more head light and different launch angle from the 16x19
- Yonex Vcore Pro HD - this one is probably closest how it plays, but very soft and doesn't really fit your more vibration liking ;)

I would definitely check out the Speed Pro (possibly already Auxetic) and the Radical Pro 360+

Try the Extreme Tour. As many here will attest, it needs some customization especially in the hoop to realize its full potential, so spec it out to similar to your Gravity Pro. It will have more maneuverability (98 in^2 head), a little bit more vibration (though not harsh at all) so it will give you better feedback.

The EZone 98 Tour is worth considering. It has a swingweight around that of the GP, has a somewhat plush feel (maybe just a bit firmer than the GP). It does everything well and is more maneuverable than the GP.

I would hit the Prince Phantom line. I’m highly intrigued by that racquet and keep kicking around the idea of getting one to play around with.
