Which one suits you

Pick the Ionic Power if

You want more weight behind the ball: the balance is higher, towards the head.
You swing fast and want a crisper response: the core is firmer.

Pick the Vertex Advance if

You want to spend less: it is £26 cheaper delivered today (£109.99 against £136).
You want it quicker in the hand and easier on the arm: the weight sits lower.
You want comfort: the core is soft, which gives more help on slow balls and tends to be kinder to the arm.

Not a factor, because they are the same on both: shape (both diamond), weight, level (both intermediate).
