I've recently returned to the game after 10yrs off. So our situations may be similar.
Used Offensive classic before I stopped.

1. No experience with VKN

2. I'm using layer ZLF atm, which is basically a Liu Shiwen with smaller head size. LSW's hard to get.
ZLF's basically plays like an allwood with a minor kick when ZLF's activated. Dwell time, control and all that good sht. It's an expensive upgrade from your YSE. I'm an EJ and dgaf about the money but ymmv.

3. Used Carbonado 45 for a couple months before the ZLF. The 45 should have similar base line speed to ZLC. 45's an outer carbon, so the performance is much more linear compared to inner carbons. However the 45's too fast for my current skill level, not enough dwell time on backspin loops. But excellent in every other department. Will go back to it when I get mad gud.

In my experience, when you don't have mad skillz, better too slow than too fast. Good luck.
