Tennis help??

 I'm looking to get a new racket and have tested many different kinds and have finally decided on either the head prestige or wilson k-blade both 93' frames.  I'm really not sure my skill rating or whatever but I hit a heavy strong shot and like to hit from the baseline and then approach.  So, if anybody knows anything about these rackets that might help sway my decision (I have to buy it soon and can't demo either anymore) that would be great.  Looks is not a factor.  Durability and other things like that are.  I know this isn't a tennis forum but I figured that somebody on here would be a tennis player.

Also, Winells Sesh 3 in 5 days.  Hell yea so pumped...

Thanks for your help.

Which version of the Head Prestige are you thinking of?  is it the flexpoint, or microgel...  Personally i have always preferred head racquets over wilson and the new microgel technology is very good, i prefer it over the flexpoint.  I do believe that the head is a little bit heavier as well, which will affect the control you have with. (if you like a heavier or lighter racquet)  Hope this helps...
If you are interested in another head racquet as well the microgel extreme is very good.. in my opinion

You are the only one that can decide. Raquets are an extension of your arm so which one feels more natural for you? I, personally, am a Babolat Pure Drive Plus kind of person. I've had the same raquet since I was fourteen, and I'm twenty now.

if youre able to, hit with them for just enough to know the differences between them, but if youre not able to do that, then just go with whatever youre the most used to if youve used a similar racquet or same brand and liked that one, go with whatever one is closest

 Yea thanks for the feedback.  By the way, it is the microgel.  I've tryed them both out and like them both alot.  I was just wondering about people's personal experience with them.  (i.e. durability and how any similarities/differences stack up).  I'm just looking for other people's personal opinions on them because I think that they are both dope rackets.  Kinda like, if you had to pick one, which one and why.  Or, if you have one, or both/have tryed them what was your experience like, etc.  Thanks for the response so far...
