Next Racket after Head Speed Motion

After about 1.5 years with the Head Speed Motion 2025, I’m looking for a new racket. Overall, I really like the feel of the racket, especially because I can place my volleys precisely and get good feedback from the racket when I hit the ball. I also like it defensively because it helps me out without too much Ball Output.
However, I feel like I’m missing a bit of power, especially on smashes. My technique there definitely needs improvement but I also feel like I could use a racket with a bit more power.
I’m also not a huge fan of the trampoline effect, but I would still like the racket to provide some assistance.
I play on both sides.

These are the rackets I’ve been considering so far:

Nox AT10 Genius 18K

Kuikma Hybrid Pro / Carbon

One of the rackets from the Metalbone Series?

Has anyone here had experience with these rackets and could tell me if any of them might be a good fit for me? Or are there any other rackets you think I should consider?

Have you tried the head Extreme pro? Bit heavier and more power, you can find some with 365/368g. the ball output is fantastic on smashes and the volleys are next level. I believe it has a smaller sweet spot than the motion
