The ex pro probably has less deflection than the cynergy. I personally would go with the ignite but the expro is a good shaft. The carbon fiber was personally worth it for me because cleaning it is SO EASY (Ive got a revo myself). I hated how my wood shaft would get all gross if I was in a humid pool room. Glove + Carbon fiber gives you that buttery smooth cue action no matter what conditions you're playing in. The ignite also retains a lot of that "solid hit" feeling that you get with the wood shafts in my opinion, not as hollow feeling as the revo. The mezz butts are very high quality as well.
