Spartus P1 Standard vs Spartus Spitfire
The Spartus P1 Standard is a 16 mm widebody paddle; the Spartus Spitfire is a 16 mm elongated one. Across the 6 specs with a clearly better direction the Spitfire takes 4 and the P1 Standard takes 2. The P1 Standard swings lighter (112.0 vs 117.0) — quicker hands at the net, where the Spitfire plows through the ball instead. That is a preference, not a win. The Spitfire is $110.00 cheaper at $109.99.
Two paddles from the same brand, so the differences are the ones the maker chose. Every number below is lab-measured, not a manufacturer claim.

Static weight 8.2 oz vs 7.8 oz — a few grams of tape moves swing weight far more than static weight, so either can be pushed toward the other.
