Reel of Red Code or Maxi Power?

[uncle sahostafact]

I am considering buying a reel of the following but can only buy one:
Tecnifibre Pro Red Code 16 660' reel for 105$
or
Tecnifibre Spinfire Maxipower 433' reel for 86$

I currently have a racquet strung with red code and i love it but have also heard good things about maxipower. So which should i buy?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Buy an individual package of Tecnifibre Spinfire Maxipower and try it out.

I've used both. The Red Code feels plasticky and results in a lower ball trajectory than I get with most other poly strings. The plasticky feeling makes it seem like the strings don't grab the ball as well, though there was at best a small difference in spin generating capability.

The maxipower seemed to play more like a typical poly. It didn't alter the ball trajectory much, though it did seem a bit on the stiffer side.

Personally, there seemed to be better alternatives for any of the string qualities I want, so I doubt I'll be using either of these again.

i like the low power and high control i get from the red code but im curious if the maxipower is any similar. the red code to me feels like a low powered BB Original which is good for me. I dont mind if the maxipower is a little softer but i would like to know if it has just as much control as the red code.

I've used 2 reels of Red Code this year until I came across Pro Supex Big Ace. Big Ace is much cheaper and holds better tension IMO. Plus it comes in more varied gauges than Red Code.
