Buying a racquet I've never demoed

Hi everyone.

I have been in racquet research frenzy for some time as I am trying to replace my old Head Prestige Flexpoint. I don't have too many options for demoing racquets in my location but I've managed to demo a few but did not find one that I felt was exactly what I was looking for. At this rate I will never decide and I am thinking of just buying the new VCore 95 which I've never (and can't) demo.

I feel like whatever I end up buying I will have to adapt to it anyway and on paper this seems to be close to what I am looking for. For context, I would like a more modern players racquet that gives you a bit of power and spin. I demoed 100sq and 98sq racquets and prefered the 98s as expected as my Prestige is 93sq, 320g. Demoed a Blade 98, and Gravity Tour and Speed Pro - not impressed. I enjoyed the new PureAero 98 but I could not keep the ball in with flat shots. Enjoyed the Ezone98 but felt too muted. Enjoyed the Percept97d but felt a bit chunky.

Would it be stupid to buy the VCore 95 having never tested it? Long post but appreciate any feedback.
