Which one suits you

Pick the Ionic Control if

You want more control and a bigger sweet spot: a round head is more forgiving on off-centre hits.
You want choice of where to buy: 3 UK shops stock it, against 1.

Pick the Ionic Light if

You want to spend less: it is £11 cheaper delivered today (£125.99 against £136.49).
You want more power: a hybrid head puts the sweet spot higher, which helps smashes and volleys.
You want a lighter racket: about 20 g less.

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