Which one suits you

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.

Pick the Technical Veron 3.0 if

You want to spend less: it is £10 cheaper delivered today (£119.99 against £129.99).
You want more power: a diamond head puts the sweet spot higher, which helps smashes and volleys.

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