    well I don't own a YY, victor or lining. The following is all I have. They are in the order that I like them

    1) Sotx woven 8a - yonex BG80
    2) Wilson K-lite - victor vs850
    3) Carlton powerflo BR - yonex BG80
    4) RSL m11 600 (guess I don't like playing with head heavy balanced rackets) - RSL TN680

    i had an apacs stern 200 before(broken) and finnex titanium 200 (my favorites racket). kason tsf 300d is a good racket also, i don't have it but i had heard a good review from an uncle. fleet high end racket also have good performances which equivalent with victor. rsl 's low end racket also can give a good performance.

    If it is yours too, join the club! :D

    However, the list would be different with LN, YY, And V included.
    Again, it is personal and for player that can handle stiff to very stiff head heavy 3U to 2U racquets.

    I have Yonex VT80 and Victor MX80. I want to get the Li-Ning N90.

    As for other brands to expand my collection (I prefer head heavy and stiff)...

    1. RSL X5 Silver --- I've been eyeing this as a possible back-up racket
    2. Black Knight Max-Force 970 --- Want to have Canada's brand racket
    3. Forza Kevlar CNT-Power 10000S --- Good brand and new-ish racket
    4. Panda Power Revalations --- It seems to have the specs I want
    5. Gosen Ryoga Shiden --- Seems OK but has an oval head.

    I hope to get these rackets next year.

    I'd actually high hope for the Enigma 900 too but cos read your review on it & u mentioned "Overall I feel that the Flypower Enigma 900 is a slightly more demanding racket suitable for upper intermediate player". Thus worry I can't handle it as much so going for the other 2 models instead...

    Carlton Vapour Trail Tour is probably the one racket I still wish was in my bag.

    Non-Mainstream rackets I really want to try are the Fleets.

    Yes, a great racket, but don't you mean "Brand Spanking New, only out for 2 months" ??

    These are the few non YY Victor and LN rackets that I got:

    1. Flypower - Warrior 8 (Anyone looking for genuine YY Victor LN quality at a fraction of price? Flypower is the answer)
    2. Carlton - Vapour Trail Tour (Another superb design by Carlton, will meet the requirement for top level)
    3. Wilson - Vertex BLX (Much more solid than all previous Wilson racket, I like it very much)
    4. Apacs - Lethal Light 1.10 (Delightful defensive racket, very easy to manouver and fair amount of power when strung at high tension)
    5. Flypower - Vigor 700 (Its still unstrung in my bag, I believe it can top Warrior 8 for quality as I can see it has smaller woven pattern)
