Racquet suggestion required

In the last 5-8 years I have lost touch with new racquet production and I would require some suggestion for a possible purchase.
I am 56 and I am decent club level player, having played many tournaments in the past even at pro level.
My present racquet is a Prince O3 Black which is getting old and now out of production. I find it a good compromise between power and control for my game. I used Babolat Pure Drive in the past, but I find Prince O3 Black slightly more head heavy and better for net play and serving which suits my game fine.
I would like to compile a list of suitable racquets along those lines in 95-100 inches head size.
Thanks in advance for your help/suggestions.

You can use the Similar Racquets Tool from Tennis Warehouse University.

But as for a suggestion, the Yonex Vcore SV 98 is pretty close I would say, spec wise. Never played with either of those.

Thanks to you all. I definitely have some choices.

Just one simple question. How to read the Balance figure? For example, am I correct that 4HL is head heavier than 6HL and therefore it has a balance point further up the shaft?
