Stiga OC CR upgrade to Carbo 7.6 WRB

Hi everybody

For more than a year i am playing with a Stiga OC CR penhold blade, it is a great blade with great feel.
The only downsides for me are the lichtweight and sometimes i feel it laks a little bit power when looping in 2nd line.
I consider to puchase a Stiga Carbo 7.6 WRB penhold because it is said it is more solid and faster but still has that woodish feel.
Is it worth the upgrade from OC CR penhold to Carbo 7.6 WRB penhold?

Thanks

to be honest, i'm not familiar with the OC and, on top of that, i'm a shakehander, but i do know the carbo 7.6 and it is one of the best blades i've ever played with.

it has a large sweet spot, so, though it's fast, it has excellent control.  if you have the right rubber on it, you start to feel like you can't miss.  it's an excellent blade for looping.

the only downside is that it's a bit heavy, but if you can handle the weight, i highly recommend it.

i also have the YEO now and it's definitely lighter, but it doesn't have the control of the carbo 7.6.

Thanks, for your experiences. Luckily I can try the blade before buying. i will test the carbo 7.6 WRB, Rosewood and a HRT Ebenholz V clone before buying. I defenitily stick with stiga because I like the handles for penhold.
