Has anyone played extensively with one of these 2 rubbers and like to tell me about how they play? I'm finding MX-P an excellent rubber, but I'm looking for something with a more linear behaviour, with better control, while maintaining a decent pace.

Is Rhyzm and Rhyzm 425 a long way from eachother? I'm thinking of using Rhyzm FH and Rhyzm 425 BH, just going to ask if there's a substantial difference in hardness, that I'll have to adjust a lot. How do these rubbers compare with something like T05?

I would also like to point out that I like using a wide variety of stroke on the backhand, need some sort of "do it all" rubber, because I rely a lot on blocking and topspinning/countering etc.

Thanks :)

Yes, there is a substantial difference in hardness.  42.5 degree sponge is not 47.5/48 degree sponge.  Both are linear and very controllable.  If you have no weight or hardness issues, get the regular.

They are both medium high throw rubbers.  Excellent control but in some hands may be bouncy.
I like putting heavy topspin on the ball...

I play with Normal Rhyzm, 48 degrees. For me it's still too soft. the harder the sponge the better the control is most of the times true

For me, it depends on the shot.  Softer sponges make it harder for me to hit linear shots on my forehand, but they make it easier for me to give the ball heavy rotation.  My best results were with the 42.5 sponge for what its worth, but I can understand why people who spin harder would prefer the regular sponge.

Rhyzm has a nice topsheet so not sure why you would consider it soft.

SmackDAT, what are you using to boost your MX-P?
If you want better control then why not try not boosting? (Although I personally find boosting often improves control) I use the Falco tempo (not long) booster.

the mx-p is still spinnier but i find the rhyzm 48 degrees as the more durable rubber.

I don't think it's soft, I consider it as a hard rubber. It's just too soft for me. 
That's true. soft rubbers are most of the times better for close to the table play because of their shorter drift.
