It seems with the adjustments available, they all three sort of overlap each other. My other fairway wood is a TM RBZ 3HL. Looking for something in between that and my 4 iron. I'm thinking to go with the middle option - Heavenwood as it has a 20 degree loft as the standard setting. It will be replacing my Callaway Steelhead Plus 7 wood. Thoughts?
 
I think it would depend on how far you hit all of the different choices. The Heavenwood if I remember is a 7 wood on a 3 wood shaft so I'm guessing you would hit it farther than your current 7 wood and that could screw up you gapping possibly.
 
I went with HW over 5W (though I liked the 5W's more compact size), because I prefer to adjust Callaway fairway woods down, which opens the face a touch. The opposite is true too, so that may influence your decision.
 
The RBZ 3HL is 17 degree loft on a 3 wood shaft. Guess I need to hit all three set up with their "standard" lofts and find out the differences in distances on a simulator.
