Which one suits you

Pick the AT10 Luxury Genius 18K Alum if

You want more power: a teardrop head puts the sweet spot higher, which helps smashes and volleys.
You want more weight behind the ball: the balance is higher, towards the head.
You already hit the ball cleanly: the brand pitches it at strong competitive players.
You want choice of where to buy: 4 UK shops stock it, against 2.

Pick the ML10 Ventus Control 3K if

You want to spend less: it is £45 cheaper delivered today (£168.99 against £213.99).
You want more control and a bigger sweet spot: a round head is more forgiving on off-centre hits.
You want it quicker in the hand and easier on the arm: the weight sits lower.
You want the more forgiving of the two: the brand pitches it at advanced players, so it asks less of your technique.

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