Pure Control 1st gen vs Pure Storm Ltd 1st gen

[El_Yotamo]

Hi everyone,
A few days ago I found a pure control 1st gen on the bay. I'm wondering how it compares to my pure storm ltd original.
How does the original pure control compare to my racquets in:
Mold: is it very different? I know the original pure control was also a 95 and was based off of a Donnay mold. Is it different from the pure storm ltd mold? How so and how much?
Feel: how do the two compare in terms of feel? Which is stiffer, and which feels more solid?
Grommets: unlike many, I like the woofer grommets, so are the molds similar enough to replace the pure control 1st gen with the grommets that I can get on tennis warehouse? If not, how could I replace the grommets on them at all?

Finally, I'm not sure if it is trustworthy. I'm looking for the original pure control from 1996 that had a 95 sq in head size with the 18x20 string pattern (I know the 16x18 came first but I prefer 18x20 patterns).
In the description, the person says it's a 98 racquet, so I'm not sure if it's what I was looking for. Also, he doesn't say the string pattern.
Thank you anyone who replies, this would really help me, and also any other comparisons/reviews are welcome!

More info:
I counted 76 grommet holes, so since 76/2=38, and 18+20=38, does it mean it is an 18x20 (what I want)?
Looking at the pics, I think weight is listed as 335g, balance is 31, stiffness (Ra) is 64, and on the side it says:
Index PCM 65 58 42 (What does that mean?) The pic is slightly blurry so it's hard to tell.

Please guys, this would really help. I know there's guys here who know a lot about this racquet and have also played it.

I'd post this over in the 'Bonjour from Babolat' thread:

Babolat Official is quite helpful, and if he doesn't know the answer, he can usually find out from someone within the company.
