I am a intermediate power double player. I want to buy a racket that give me power but still fast enough for the net game. Thanks. Happy Thanksgiving
Most 3U rackets offer enough power and are fast enough at the net. I would go for the MXJJS. It's a great allround racket. Arc 11 is also a good allrounder but a tiny bit slower. You can't go wrong with both. For ultimate netting go for a 4U MXJJS. For more power the 3U is the better choice.

If you don't want a stiff racquet I don't go for the JJS. It is stiffer than most racquets yonex has to offer. I've not tried the Arc11, but it is certainly stiffer than the Arc10.
I was using a JJS when a mate bought an Arc11, I was curious as they were quite similar in spec so I had a good 30 minutes of hitting with it. Without turning this into a review. The Arc11 was a nice, solid performer. Good power, fast enough but just lacked the "it" factor that the JJS had.
Switched back to JJS last night from tk9000 as I have a tournament on Saturday and the string is getting close to breaking. I really should have strung my other tk9k, but in the middle of a house move and haven't got round to it. Anyway, the point of this post is to say that even though I have been exclusivley using the thruster for 1-2 months, I played pretty well with the JJS straight from the off and it felt as good as ever. Now I don't know which racket to use tomorrow! So I'm just re-affirming how great the JJS is!
