Signum Pro Tornado vs. Solinco Revolution vs. Dunlop Black Widow?

Can anyone give a comparison between Signum Pro Tornado 1.23mm, Solinco Revolution 17g, and/or Dunlop Black Widow 17g?

Looking for that perfect string; currently trying Tour Bite 17, Big Hitter Silver Rough 17, and Black, 5 Edge 1.24mm. (all with Gosen OG Sheep Micro Super 16L crosses)

I'm wanting to try 2 more (since I've got 5 racquets). Definitely going to try Tourna Poly Big Hitter Black 7 17g and one other.

Trying to decide between Tornado 1.23mm, Revolution 17g, or Black Widow 17g...so I'm looking for some opinions.

Thanks.

on my DC legend, leaded to 12.5 oz, i can tell you that Solinco rev 17 is very good and feels relatively soft (strung 51# Constant Pull). my main string is RPM 17 and they are extremely close in performance.

power is good but controlled, spin is good

i have not tried the others. as a point of reference, i have found tour bite 17 to be unusably stiff.
 
Solinco Tour Bite at lower tension than average does not require Multi/Syngut crosses to improve...Revolution is a rubbish string, try MSV Focus Hex 1.18 dark blue it's the better string, I compared both side to side.
Regarding the "perfect cross" a new string, combining Nylon and Polyester will be released soon; I playtested several versions already, a reel has already arrived :D great cross string, much better than Gosen OG or others.
Good luck with your testing.
