Bruce is right. Go and try them out. Different bats with different pick ups. Same is true for the others that you mention. As it happens, the SG VS319 should also be in your range if you are looking at lowish Middles and big hitting.

marvellous.
if you are buying a branded bat you should, as the guys say, go to a shop.

The Luna is a lower middle, the icon is slightly higher but not as high as the flare. I personally felt the Luna was bottom heavy when unpicked it up, whereas the icon felt a better all round bat. But that's just me. Best way is to go try them in store, but that's not always possible if you haven't got a good cricket stockist near you.
