What is the closest clone of Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensive?

The Ma Lin Extra Offensive is not that expensive... why look for a clone? Cheap clones generally don't have the same quality control as original blades... that's at least part of what you pay for.

Don't know about Sanwei or Yinhe, but the Yasaka Athletico Power and the Donic Ovtcharov No 1 Senso are HL5 clones.

I just pulled out this blade from the closet, and I quite like it. I put Big Dipper and AK47 on it, and its quite fast, maybe a little faster than I expected for being All Wood.

What is the best clone (maybe from Yinhe or Sanwei) that is close to its characteristics? I feel the blade is quite fast, maybe lower range of OFF or a 8.6/10 speed rating. Flex is quite good, a fair bit flexier than your standard VIS.
