I have:
Vcore 100 ('23) - powerful - spinny- muted - all the things folks say are true. HUGE sweetspot. Very forgiving. Not super string sensitive. Looks can take a bit to get over imo.
PAVS - Less powerful, significantly less forgiving, more feel, and more arm issues than the VCore 100. Extremely string sensitive.
Extreme Tour (Nite, pre Auxetic version) - Somewhere between the VC100 and PAVS in all categories except for spin which seems a little lower than both - but still plenty. Very good frame that deserves more love than it gets from me.
I have a '23 Pure Aero on the way (couldn't help it - found a place getting rid of tennis inventory for $200 new). Will have in a week or so.
Now is a great time to buy a Yonex if you're going to. The 20% off anniversary sale is tough to pass up.
To me, I'd say the VCore 100 is probably the frame given the OP, the current sale, etc. That said, the missing piece is what "I play using as much topspin as I can, not so many slices and I don't normally hit flat" really means. "Flat" and "High Spin" are terms folks use here that are EXTREMELY relative.
