That makes sense, as counter-looping puts the greatest amount of strain on the topsheet to sponge bond.

both europe and elite should be soft enough for your need, but i have to say Elite is easier to control than Europe.

in terms of weight i cannot confirm because i do not weigh my equipment. elite is better for playing closer to the table, short game is very easy with it and looping is a breeze and controllable with plenty of spin but not very fast but it's not a problem since you can concentrate more on placement over speed. one thing i am not sure about is its durability.... my vega pro lasted better than europe due to the 100% rubber top sheet. the europe last me about 5 months with 12 hours a week play time = 250hr + . it was truly dead by the time i changed it and i was using it as BH so not as much use as the pro on my FH.

When I asked Xiom for information, they provided me with a chart that compared all their rubbers to the different Tenergies. It was not very useful. Ermm
