What is the difference: head rip control and head rip perfect control?

I have never used head strings and was wondering what is the difference between head rip control and rip perfect control. It seems that perfect control is just a softer playing string, but that is just a guess. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I played each of them back to back, and they are pretty similar in terms of power and durability (and ease of stringing). The RIP Perfect Control did have a slight edge in terms of feel/control, but it is also a bit more expensive. If you're looking for a nylon string that is easy on the arm, durable, and not too powerful, either of these would be a good choice.

Thanks Greg, based on that comparison I will go with the RIP control. It sounds just like what I have been looking for.

The Head Perfect Control is really rough on the fingers. I'd hate to string it too many times in a row.

I don't find it to be tough on my fingers, but you do have to subdue its tendency to coil back up. It normally takes me until the third cross to "domesticate" it.
