Difference between Viscaria and Timo Boll ALC?

[FrenchFrog33]

Curious if there is much difference between Viscaria and Timo Boll ALC? Looking at the Butterfly website and the blade comparison shows them as identical.
Why choose one over the other?

 

[Dr Evil]

Mostly handle/wing shape and balance; the Boll is slightly head-heavier. The Boll is typically slightly harder and faster, though this depends partly on the age (and exposure to water based glue) and weight of the blades being compared.

I use timo boll alc, I'd really recommend this blade if you are using a outer carbon and want to switch to alc. Viscaria has more 'safety' and 'control' and i think is good to try out outer alc blades. Visc and Boll are both great tbh, just pick your favorite handle. Viscaria is better to resell and age i.m.o.

Boll alc has slightly more dwell when you hit hard

 

[SofaChamp]

It's like Ken and Ryu on Street Fighter 2: same control, same special moves, same body shape.

More personal preference, which shape of the handle and feel of the wings do you prefer?

Once I read Killerspin being rated as top blade, I just closed my tab and stopped reading.
