Just in case you didn't get the point of my previous post: you are almost certainly better off with what you already have than with what you think you want.
I know I have already explained to you some of why you don't want one of those fancy, expensive, fast, carbon blades.
Here is more. Using a blade that is a little slower forces you to learn to use your legs, your hips and the weight transfer and time it with your impact in order to get power. If you can spin the ball well and get a fast powerful loop that also has a lot of spin with a Stiga Allround Classic, your technique has to be excellent. If you can do that and your technique is high level and you get to a level of around 2100, when you switch to a faster blade at that point, you will have rocket launcher shots regardless of what setup because of how good your technique is.
I have 2 different friends who are both pro level tennis players who are about 2100 in table tennis. Their table tennis technique is table tennis technique. In spite of the fact that they also play tennis.
One uses a Stiga Allround Classic. The other uses a Stiga Allround Evolution. (Yes Der_Echte, that is part of why I love the Alround Evolution blade so much.).
Anyway, these two guys are using pretty slow blades. They still have as much power behind their strokes as any of the pros in NYC.
If their game skills and understanding of spin and strategy was higher level these guys stroke production is good enough to get them to top tier levels.
A slower blade with more dwell time, feeling and control will actually help you develop better strokes. This is on so many levels it is not possible to explain all of it.
But with the faster, fancier carbon blades you seem to be attracted to, (TBSpirit, Garaydia T5000), the extra speed of the blade will cause you to cut down your stroke because of the speed of the blade and it will ensure that your technique will remain worse for longer because the blade will do more so you won't learn better body mechanics. It will also hinder your development of good ball feel and touch which, at higher levels, is much more important than speed.
So, if I was you, I would drop the EJ Bug and Addiction and use what you have. OR DOWNGRADE TO A SLIGHTLY SLOWER BLADE with inexpensive Chinese rubbers like you already have or good control Tensor rubbers that generate good spin.
Either would be fine and you would be doing yourself a big favor if your goal in playing is to actually improve and get better.
But the setup you have, exactly as it is, would be fine. There is no need to feel that you desperately need one of those expensive setups. You already have what you need.
