just give a try, even H and XH feel differently on harder strokes

The beauty of ESN rubbers is a wide variation of different hardness for th same rubber. If you like a specific one, just down level or up level hardness. Unfortunately it's not achievable for butterfly's rubbers like D05/D09C/Zyre, you will need to play with boosters to make it softer.

Unfortunately I have't used it long enough to have a fair comparison

Any version of Viscaria (FZD, TB, you name it) will work well. But anyways you'll be missing your deadly FH if you switch from Primorac Carbon

Based on what you highlighted in your videos, I see you around 1900-2000 USATT, with some potential good wins with 2000+ players. If you can record at least one good match, it would be easier to rate (number of unforced errors, service returns, etc). Also, your opponents look weaker in the...

every new rubber requires adjustments; I won't be surprised if FZD will transition to Zyre fully with advantages of it. Modern TT is becoming speed\placement over spin and power. It's more athletic with compact strokes nowadays

Any hybrid rubber with hard sponges requires proper body engagement. Without that it will just produce some amount of spin, but low-quality shot. Plus keep in mind that body\arm\full swing with body engagement is a very physical demanding thing. I personally like to practice with hybrid rubbers...

I used to play with Stiga DNA Hybrid XH one year long (the older hybrid version), and overall was satisfied with it and liked more than D09c exactly because it was "faster" in the middle range of quality shots. But in real stressful situations in matches, when my body was stiffer and not engaged...
