Well not so much to tell. I've came back to TT after 15 years of hiatus, now in my mid 30s. I always plaid with all wood blades in 38mm and then 40mm celluloid eras and I never really spent money on TT equipment (as student
so I wanted to test some things in between the seasons. I originally started with Yasaka Sweden Extra (5-ply with anigre outer ply an ALL+/OFF- speed range), tried several Bfly Primorac OFF- (which is the blade I used the most before I stopped playing) and then settled down with Tibhar Stratus Powerwood (slightly faster OFF- with limba outer ply and the same composition as Primorac, Korbel or Appelgren Allplay). But I always wanted to try some ALC or similar as all the "modern" and more expensive blades have it nowadays.
I had chance to try briefly Butterfly Innerforce Layer AL and ALC.s with Tibhar Evolution series on it (the softer variants) and AL one was especially amazing with the ability to spin and keep the ball on the table from both sides under almost every condition. It felt like my YSE but holding the ball "forever" before releasing back (probably because of limba outer and different rubbers). Anyway I was hesitating what to buy for longer test and because I didn't want to spend 120+ USD on the blade which I will potentially sell few weeks or months later I was picking from the list above. In the end it comes down to time you have available for such testing and because trainings are pretty poor off-season and the quality of sparing partners in my club as well I decided to go with one: highly praised H301. It's good blade which is very close to OFF-/OFF speed and feel of my TSPW on a first sight but I lost few tight matches with it by not being able to play my usual "crushing" 3rd ball attack topspins from both FH and BH into low pushes and I felt much better when turning back to my Tibhar blade (especially from BH side). I blame harder koto outer ply of H301 and my poor technique, the blade itself will probably suite many players. I also tested ALC outer layer construction (Yinhe V-14 which is basically Butterfly TB ALC/Viscaria imitation apart from ayous vs. limba middle layer under ALC) which doesn't fit into category you are looking into and just confirmed this is too fast and repulsive for my allround style of play.
As conclusion I'm fine with all-wood blades and softer outer plies right now (mainly because I have over 90% success rate this season in lower regional division I play) and I might come back to testing in few months when season is over (DHS ALC-like inner constructions with limba outer are still tempting so I will probably try DHS PG5 or something similar, it should be basically cheaper and slower Hurricane Long 5 version...)
