which players used the blade and vantage/angell 18x20

Semi-Pro
I've decided to get one of these rackets. Or the blade or the vantage/angell 18x20.
As you can understand I cannot demo the vantage/angell so I would like to know who played both and can describe the differences.
Price is not an issue. I'm just looking for the racket which suits me best.
 
I used KBlade 98 for a couple years in college and briefly had a KBlade 93 when I started experimenting. I recently got 2 used vantage 95 27" 70RA 16x18 330g 8-10pts HL.

I know it's not exactly what you're looking for but the Vantages have felt great. Being foamed filled makes a huge difference as they just feel solid and the 70RA gives me superb control on volleys and ground strokes even when I get slap happy with the forehand.

If money is non-issue I would go Vantage/Angell. The biggest thing when deciding (assuming you do 27") will be RA. I believe the blade is between 70 and 63. If I was making a frame I would error in making it lighter than you prefer and HL as lead tape is easy to add on the frame and tinker to make it feel perfect.
