2012 NSA stamped bat comparable to original SRV5 Salvo.

I have swung my SRV5 for a very long time and absolutely love it! It's a perfect fit for me. Unfortunately, the league I'm in requires a 2012 NSA stamp so I need to find a replacement. Does anyone have a recommendation for an NSA bat that swings similar when it comes to pop and balance? I can afford only one bat and want to get something comparable...if it's out there. I would truly appreciate your help! Sad that the salvo is collecting dust...that thing is amazing right now.

Initially posted in another thread then figured it would be better off in the Easton thread. Thanks for the positive feedback...

Any thoughts on the Mizuno Balanced Blackout? I've never swung a Mizuno but am intrigued by the reviews.

Blackouts are killer once broken in. 13" barrel vs the 12" barrel on your Salvo, but I can switch back and worth between my Blackout and 12" Eastons with no problems. That said, a 100w or '17 Wegman would be a closer match.

I have a 28oz Stadium that I need to move, with the stamps you need.
Feels almost identical to my old srv5..

Lol at this. In no way has a Demarini ever felt like a SRV5. Not at impact, not in weighting, nothing.
