In my opinion Monsta is the king of ASA right now. Durability isn't an issue if you're not a big power guy and only hit .52s.
I umpired a charity tournament about 2 months ago and there was one team that was just passing around a Clack all day. Like 8 of their guys were swinging it. It was fire! In the 3 games I had them alone I saw that bat get probably 100 swings in 50 degree weather. It lived to mash another day.

The difference between the two should be minimal:
M2 and M5 are effectively the same, and the difference is how the graphics are applied to the bat. Some people will tell you that M2 is sooooooooo much better, but it's the same composite.
I would not pay a penny over MSRP for either, and don't even love the MSRP price for the Ignite. There's really not much difference between most of the Monsta bats produced over the last few years - the composite is the same, and then it comes down to weighting and whether you want a 1pc or 2pc. Plenty of options at $200 or less around the FB groups.
I would also not overlook a DeMarini Flipper/Nihlist/Whatever they're calling it these days or a Worth Krecher or the newer Pure ASA stuff. While Monsta is the popular option, let's not believe it's the ONLY option.

I don't know of anyplace where you could swing an Ultra. As far as the DC41, I would pass on that and go with just about anything newer. Can't go wrong with the Ignite or Clack for $150. @UncleMosk is a batwhore that would have more insight than me.

Monsta guy probably read this thread. He'll get back to you when he decides to balls up and lyk he wants double the original amount he was asking for it.

You probably right. I didn’t want to risk breaking it anyway. I’m dipping my toe into going back so I think the 2 I got for a hundred is good for now
