Power of Dunlop Aerogel 4D 300?

I am really intrigued by the Dunlop AG 300 but am worried about it's low power. I tried a demo briefly and it seemed really low powered, but I am wondering if it's just the demo and how its strung? Some racquets that I liked the power of are: Head Instict, Babolat Pure Drive Cortex, Head Extreme MP, Dunlop AG 4D 500 Tour. I really want something that is easy on the arm like the AG 300, but am worried about the power dropoff.

Can anyone compare the power level of the AG 300 to some other racquets I might be familiar with? Will more power oriented strings and a lower tension make this racquet closer to the level of like a Pure Drive?

After demoing the 4d 300 I also wondered what a gut sting (for instance) at a lower tension would do to the racquet. I think it's safe to say it wouldn't lower the power of the racquet. But even in the demo set up, there was plenty of power available - if you put the ball on the sweet spot every time. That's where the rub is. I think the 300s have a relatively small sweet spot and if you just miss it you will be punished with a very low powered shot. I thought it served like a monster, though and when you do pure your groundies, it displays 'winner' power. Does anyone out there have a low tension gut set up on their 300?

I found the same thing......IF you hit the sweetspot, you get decent power, but miss it a little and you get a huge dropoff in power on your shot.

if you want something easy on the arm id consider the pure storm tour.
it might be a little heavy but once you adjust to the weight its a thing of beauty.

either that or you can try and string your ag300 wi0th a multi which would give it lil more of a softer feel
