Does someone have experience with these two rubbers?

Big Dipper black-rubber blue sponge 39°
and DHS H3 Neo OS 39° (commercial)

I played with the DHS H3 boosted with one layer Seamoon yellow and it feels very nice, controllable, not too bouncy
but Big Dipper is a max tense sponge.. are these comparable?

somewhat similar. BD is a bit bouncier and a bit easier to access speed and power.

I've tried both (unboosted) but both were red and the BD was 38deg. Probably due to the DHS being much tackier I found DHS H3 far easier to generate spin with.
The BD will give you spin also if you use it correctly but I found it needed more work to get the result.
I guess my summary would be
H3: easy spin, work for speed
BD: easier speed, work for spin.
This possibility has greater implications in the short game...
Both take some time to break in so give it weeks (maybe 10-20hrs) before final judgement of the rubber
