Which one suits you

Pick the Air Veron 2.6 if

You want to spend less: it is £5 cheaper delivered today (£124.99 against £129.99).
You want more power: a teardrop head puts the sweet spot higher, which helps smashes and volleys.
You want it quicker in the hand and easier on the arm: the weight sits lower.
You want a lighter racket: about 10 g less.

Pick the Counter Veron 2.6 if

You want more control and a bigger sweet spot: a round head is more forgiving on off-centre hits.
You want more weight behind the ball: the balance is higher, towards the head.

Not a factor, because they are the same on both: feel (both medium), level (both intermediate).
