I've just taken delivery of two H4L bats.
A Tempo and a Hellfire (stickered as an Excell)

Both are exceptional and very different.

For your budget you could buy 2 bats, and you probably should.
You don't need to spend £350 on a bat.

Drop Matt a line (H4L), he's very helpful.

If you want something no-one has mentioned, try a Warsop. I love them and have used them all my life.

All the part mades I've bought off Matt have been stonkers.  Even the ugly grade 3's.  A bat I made to lend out to people goes as well, if not better than a G1 i have, yet it's "only" a G3!

A small blemish.
I've a Devil grade Tempo. It's got 11 grains, 1 1/ inches of heartwood and without a small blemish on the back near the shoulder, it would be a G1/Pro grade.

It's the look.

Without a blemish, that's G1/Pro

This blemish reduces the price, but not the performance.

dilscoop u are asking really silly questions..

there is not such thing as the best performing bat..

every batter is different, different shapes suit different batters!

if you go see andy from saf he can talk you through his theory or watch his videos he will be able to make u something perfect for ur game

Matt is proper podshaver [bat maker], he makes excellent bats throughout all of his range and even does bespoke customs so all bases covered!
