In a bit of a U-Turn. I am going to go back to MX-P, and I am going to try it on both sides.
I don't think you can beat it!
But in fairness, the entire Evolution range is very good. Rubber for everyone.

Your comment made me curious to try MX-P, and my conclusion is that Tibhar has one very special rubber with this one.
Like cooking different ingredients of different qualities and quantities, when you have everything right, it all comes together
to make a really classic dish. Tweak one or two things and suddenly, it's just not the same and not as good (perhaps the other Evolution variants).
Of course what's good for one may not be good for another, so again this is from my experience and my style.
This is just my experience of playing around with MX-P for 4 two hour sessions, so my findings do not apply to long term play quality.
It is bouncier than EL-S with the same type of quick ball release top sheet. I can tell immediately that it is from the same family from
the look and feel of the top sheet. With a light stroke, the throw is medium like EL-S, but with a semi to full looping stroke, MX-P has
a higher throw, and the speed is devastating compared to EL-S, OVA, or H3 National. Control and Spin is truly exceptional which I found
surprising with this much speed. It has really good feel and a "cupping" effect when looping much like H3 National. Tenergy 80 in
comparison feels more muffled and less crisp. However, Tenergy 80 is a bit slower, has higher throw, and playing with it back to back with MX-P,
I feel like MX-P is an exciting high wire act and T80 is a high wire act closer to the ground with a safety net. T80 inspires more confidence.
But the loops I produced with MX-P left me somewhat astonished. There's more risk in using it, but the attack level is so much higher,
and the game is that much more exciting.
