Ayous as an outer layer ... can't say much as I usually played koto or limba. Not sure what my Curious has : )
Even the carbon one has a nice, low price.
To be honest I haven't really used Joola blades, but have positive experience. Once during Pro tour I bought this low budget inexpensive blade and it was quite nice and consistent. Had other options back then and I gave it to my friend. I think he even preferred it over some other more expensive blades, which was quite surprising for me ...
The offensive version would be interesting to try.
