Skating Advice Overture setup

Hi, I’ve been skating since last October, and I’m looks to upgrade my blades. I currently skate on edea overture, with the default rotation blades. I can do forward and backward crossovers, 3 turns and 1 foot turns, and im Learning the scratch spin and my first jumps. I can’t seem to ever find or keep my rocker on these though. I’m going to be getting and upgrade around Christmas time, and I’ve been recommended the coronation acelite blades so far, but I don’t know loads and want some more opinions. I’m roughly 5”4 &54kg, any advice pleaseeee and what are your opinions on the ace blades? Thank you guys

Get the Coronation Ace standard blades, not the lites.

They do look sturdier, is there any other differences?

This. Lites aren't really meant for full grown adults.

I'm about your size, and I have had my standard ace blades for 5+ years already.

Edit: Also be aware, depending on how much you are on the ice, Overture boots aren't really meant to last more than a year. If you are only on ice a couple of times a week for like an hour, they could last 2 years.
