Yinhe LQ-1 (38USD$)

Yinhe LQ-2 (55USD$)

Both are advertised as defensive blades i think, i am really interested in picking one up but i am not sure which to pick.
From the descriptions it seems that the LQ-1 is ~80g and the LQ-2 is ~88g.
On OOAK i saw a user say that the Lq-1 is the faster blade - does this conflict what the weight suggests? I cannot find the wood structures of either blade and would love to know.
The LQ-2 comes with a cork handle - something that off put my initially but from reading around users say they like the feel of. Money is not an issue but i am concerned that the LQ-2 is better just because of the higher price?
Similarly a user on OOAK says that the LQ-1 is more suited for dead returns and close to the table blocks and that the LQ-2 is better for chopping far away from the table as well as powerlooping.
Im looking to apply a thinned sponge LP on the back hand and perhaps just a h3 i have laying around on the FH. Would be nice to have a chopping playstyle with this blade with some close to the table hitting - looping is a plus.
If anyone knows anything about this blade it would be appreciated.
