If you want a long lasting rubber with more performance maybe give Hurricane 3 neo a try.  In my experience it can produce more spin than Mark V and while similar in speed in the low and mid range it seems to have more power when you attack at full power.  Also its less expensive than Mark V and about 1/3 the price of new generation rubbers while lasting much longer which could be ideal if length of use to cost ratio is important to you.

Remember that extreme examples are usually the exception and not the rule.

What ZingyDNA said is correct.

The "high performance" high technology rubbers are great when playing lower level players when you are in full control of points but you have to be a pretty accomplished player for them to help more than hurt your overall game against all levels of opponents.  Kind of like the average driver would drive worse rather than better driving an indy car as we couldn't keep it on the road to get the most out of the performance potential.  

+1 on any Tenergy version.  I give my old sheets of 05FX, 80, and 64 to clubmates.  Sometimes, I see these guys with the same sheet that I gave them as far back as 2013 LOL! When I play against them, the spin is still pretty good.

I would disagree with the Baracuda though.  No Donic rubber has lasted me more than three months with the exception of the non-speed glue effect Coppa series.  I will say that the Joola X-Plode and Yasaka Rakza 7 (also Soft version) were the most durable from the ESN series I've tried.

But if you really want durability, get a really fast blade and stick some Chinese rubbers on it.  Easy Mark V replacements are LKT Rapid series, AssassinS and DefenderS from ColesTT, Gambler Outlaw, buy my favorites for Mark V or Sriver replacement are Dawei Inspirit or Palio CJ8000 Both sides loop version 36-38 degrees.

Someone over 2000 and using 2-3 year old Mark V is most definitely an extreme example, as is anyone who prefers to play with dead rubber.

Maybe the issue is not that you lose touch and control with boosted rubbers but just that you don't have too much of it in the first place. So if you want more performance (spin/speed?) then you need to either get that with classic rubbers by training more, or up your touch with modern rubbers. 

Which is why I'm confused why you tried to imply it was something about the sport of table tennis rather than your own choice. At every change of equipment along the way, a new deficiency will come into light if the fundamentals aren't there.

I don't know a sport that isn't like this.  Everyone has multiple sports jerseys, tennis players use different rackets or similar rackets strung to similar or different tensions with various combinations of strings and natural gut and different balls are used at different tournaments as well.  Golf players also change equipment as it suits them.

The problem is when someone begins to believe that equipment is significantly impacting their performance.  I tell people it is possible but rare.

This guy used to be top 400 in France and is about 2500 USATT.  He uses Tibhar Genius.  It's a really old rubber.

I know a guy who is 2200-2300 who has used Andro Hexer for as long as I have known him play.  Yes, through the ball changes.  Recommends it to people who often later switch to Tenergy.

I know the 2000+ Mark V guy.  Everyone does.  He plays better as his rubbers get deader.  That said, he would probably do decently with Tenergy given time as well.  Just not quite as well as with Mark V as he has used that for too many years.

You've been intending to do something for a long time.  But you are the most careful TT buyer in the world.  You can wait a couple more years.

Rich Dewitt might disagree with you. But he is a special kind of player.

As I said above, exception not the rule. I can't speak to account for every Rich Dewitt out there when I make posts to a forum.

even rich dewitt changes his rubber every 9-12 moths

Most people changing equipment in a sport change it due to wear and tear and loss, or due to different playing conditions, not because they are doing so on a whim.  My point is that the idea that people change equipment in some ridiculous way in table tennis that is different from other sports is silly.

In table tennis, there are also ways to get data that are reasonably similar to golf.  The thing is that these things are not doing to define your game as much as your practice and play with equipment for a long time will given the complexity of table tennis.  Unfortunately, it takes people forever to accept this, and then some people get frustrated with their lack of improvement and do everything to talk around except put in the hours at the table.

on a serious note, I'm curious to see how the original Andro Rasant holds up.

I have a sheet with > 50 hours of use on it and it plays remarkably well. 

Hope it's similar at the 100 hour mark.

Right now, there is nothing coming up, so I'm experimenting with other rubber I've purchased.  If nothing else this serves to remind me why I'm using my current equipment.  I always keep my standard setup handy in case I'm having a particularly tough time with something experimental on my blade.

That was not my experience.  I bought six sheets, two of each hardness.  Five of them became fast anti within three months of play.  That's less than a month for each rubber sheet.  The topsheet loses grip rapidly and red seems to have about 60% of the duration of the black.

rubbers lose oil as they age.

I know from first hand experience you can rejuvenate a non tacky rubber to almost new condition by adding back oils to the sponge. 

matter of fact it may play better than new for a week or two.

this will not do anything for the topsheet though

Ive found a little bit of household wd40 to work great for adding back oils into a sponge.

too much and the rubber gets boosted but a little and it gets rejuvenated.
