Not better than you mentioned, different.

Bang for the buck is XVT Black Knight

I found a DHS W3010/3020 (handle differences only, FL and CS) It's very good, speed is ALL+/OFF- although it's written All++ l, It's very controllable DHS H3 Neo, it's flexy but enough to give good feeling and not disturb control, control is very good and it's only 22.5$-25$ USD, It's also a 5-ply all wood. The weight is just great, I ordered some for my friends and myself, and got 84, 83.7, 83.4 (FL) and the CS one is 79.8 (CS is lighter) , It has standard thickness from 6.5-6.3mm Great for beginners, much better than the Sanwei M8 , N9s, N8s, N10s, N11s.

i love 7ply all wood blades and i have a couple of collections, for me the two bang for the buck 7ply allwood are sanwei fextra and palio way 005, the fextra is a little bit faster and has better good feel while the palio is the best controlled 7ply all wood i have owned but the most hardest feel also because of the doule walnut outer and medial ply, both are 20-21 u.s dollar at ali express.

There was a time when I bought a number of 7 ply hinoki blades - all quite expensive. Darker 7p-2a, Nittaku Septear, Yinhe Kiso 7. All were surprisingly light (the Darker was something like 74g). I don't play with any of them any more though.. The Kiso 7 was nice but just a tad heavy (85g). Maybe I should revisit them. I was thinking of buying the Darker - I think they were called Sakura - hinoki with special pink glue - blades after reading a couple of swooning reviews, but the one Presports had in stock was around 90 grams. I guess for me the ultimate bang for the buck blade is the Sanwei M8 - I prefer it over all other blades I've tried, and the fact that I got most of them for about USD6-7 is just icing on the cake - if they were ten time the price I'd still buy them, though it would've been far less likely that I'd have tried them to begin with if they were that price. They don't have the build quality of Yinhe's blades (which are second to none - I'd put them up against any other manufacturer) - in fact you'll find flaws in the handle wood, etc. but they play really, really well.

Funny, you should mention Sanwei Fextra - I've been mulling over getting myself a Clipper style blade, for a while now .. The biggest deal-breaker is the weight of most of Clipper or it's Clones.. . I heard that the Fextras can go as light as 80gms, which works for me ... So, less than 2 hrs back, I popped into a popular local store, and had a look at the Fextra ... They had just one piece left, which weighed-in around 87gms.. too heavy for me..

hosw the control on m8? i saw that on aliexpress bundled with rubber also, yeah its so cheap, i may make that blade as a gift to my niece who is a beginner

i think fextra is not a direct clone to clipper, fextra is thinner and medial ply is limba
