Prestige Youtek MP and Donnay Blue 94

I am using Head Prestige Youtek Midplus(98) and Donnay x-blue 99.
The blue 99 is actually much more bigger head size than youtek mp98. I am overall satisfied with the Donnay blue, but I am wondering if i get x-Blue 94.

I have a question for those who had(have) Youtek MP and Donnay Blue 94. (those are same 18*20 string pattern)
Would you compare their performance: such as feel, power, spin, control, ground stroke, valley, and serve? any comment, appreciate! thanks

***
If you compare Donnay Blue 99 and 94, it would be big help too. thanks

I give the edge to the donnay 94!
It has quite a flexy comfortable feel. It is very forgiving as well. The prestige is more crisp/less mushy feeling with a noticible smaller sweetspot. -donnay wins but this is subject to opinion based on prefered feel
Control is equal i could really do whatever i wanted with either of them putting the ball anywhere-tie
Power-well the donnay was good when you could keep your swing up but if not then power was lacking the prestige could consistently get more power because i could whip through the contact zone easier it seemed- edge to prestige because it was consistently easier
Spin- neither were amazing but if i had to pick the donnay by a small margin i dont reslly know why it just seemed better at it
Serves prestige wins it was incredibly easy to serve with and felt less clumsy (not that the donnay was but the prestige was relatively less)
Cosmetics- prestige just looks gorgeous!!!!!

thank you for your kind response.
I am very happy that the Donnay 94 has bigger sweetspot than prestige MP. But I am a bit sorry that power is less than the prestige.
thank you so much

The power was really hard to judge because I felt that the 94's mass worked muh better for power but you had to work for it but when ya got it it blew the prestige away but it was more demanding so there is a trade off but I'll tell ya I hit the. Est backhand dtl's I've ever hit with the 94
 
Last year when I decided to go back to a players racket there were 3 major contenders: YTPMP, YTPP, Donnay Blue 99 (I did try the blue 94 but didnt like it at all)

Biggest serves went to the Blue 99

Best overall serve accuracy: YTPMP which had only slightly less pop than the Pro model.

Best topspin 1HBH: YTPP but the MP was nearly as good and with more accuracy

Best Backhand slice : YTPMP

Best Forehand: YTPMP tons of accuracy

Whippiest frame: YTPP

Returns: YTPMP

Volleys: YTPMP though the blue 99 was very maneuverable and probably great for doubles

Why didnt I like the blue 94?. Well it felt boardy and unresponsive on my 1HBH for some reason serves were meh too but the 99 was a very very nice frame. My backhand is guga-esque so not many people hit with that kind of stroke.
