Continue the blade of my pre-made Stiga Pro carbon or use a new Sanwei CC(an LD carbon blade)?

I had been using the stiga pro carbon for the past 2-3 years, and the only downside i felt was the concave shape being a bit hard to bananaflip with as it got locked on my wrist, hence i ordered a new sanwei CC with the thinner handle(I don't know the name of said shape), I also purchased Rakza Z FH and Genesis M BH rubbers, however i got a suggestion to continue with the blade of the Pro carbon hence I wanted advice on whether the pro carbon blade would actually outperform the CC.

Honestly, I haven't found any blade that truly outperforms the Sanwei CC.

A lot of times when I feel like a certain rubber is underperforming, I put it on the CC to improve its performance and usually it stays there.

I got this kind of problem when starting to learn the reverse pendulum serve. I simply took the big rasp, then the file and the sandpaper to the handle and took off the parts that bothered me.

If you've already ordered the Sanwei then just try both. Blade preference is a personal thing and especially so if you are used to playing with a particular blade. Nobody else can really advise you better than yourself here. Only possible problem I can think of is if one of the blades is clearly too fast..
If the only downside of the Stiga is the shape at the butt of the handle then you can easily reshape that with a file and some sandpaper
