Finding a right tennis racquet

[2010-6-4 Update]
Finally I bought a Wilson BLX Six.One Team.

The first impression after a hit with it for 90 minutes last night.

It is less powerful, but has much more control than my previous Head oversize 105'.
- The slightly but not heavily increased weight is a good fit for me so I can still keep my swing speed.
- The chance of going long is reduced significantly due to the increased overall weight and 3-point head-light balance.
- the success percentage of the first serve improves as well.

I was a bit concerned about the reduced sweet spot area due to the reduction on the racquet head size (from 105' to 95'), but it turns out not a problem at all. I didn't miss-hit any one ball because of that factor.

Overall very happy with it. With the improved feel of control, I have more confidence at every shot believing the ball will go as I expect it to.

Have been using this for almost 5 years, and finally decided it is time to move on to next level.
