Perry,
you would get more street cred with the Power Pod! (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/310387174927)

I got on the SLDR train very early when they came out. After using it for a few months I picked up a Jetspeed when they were clearing them out for peanuts. Compared the 2 with the same shaft and loft settings. Found the Jetspeed launched a lot lower. Also tried the JDM SLDR 430. That was a great driver that I wish I had kept. Only moved it on as it had good currency still at the time.
I didn’t find the SLDR to be massively unforgiving like many claim. Only stopped using it after trying a BiO Cell+ and that was only retired after hitting the Titleist TS2.
Tried and wanted to like the F9 but it was a complete pig. In the F9’s defence it didn’t have its original shaft. Need to find a better matching shaft and/or add weight to the head as when testing against the TS2 on my scales the F9 was heaps light.
Most recent for me have been the G425LST and TSi2.
TSi2 appears to be more forgiving on huge mishits, but it's a really close call on minor mishits. Despite the LST being the low spin variant, it's still PING forgiving. Sound is far better with the TSi2, but the the LST isn't as 'loud' as the MAX variant, so really isn't all that bad from my perspective. The LST also feels very solid. Good strikes with either will go roughly the same distance for me, but I don't hit them very far so I'm not finding the limits of either driver. Higher flight with the TSi2 as you would expect. I'm toying with the idea of the LST being my windy weather club, and using the TSi2 when the conditions are better.
For my game, the G425MAX would likely be the best fit... but I just can't come at the noise. Each to their own I guess.
TM Stealth. Replacing a Tsi2.
I was fitted at Pureform during one of their 1/2 price promotions and the numbers were notably better than the other new drivers and slightly better than my Tsi2. SMash Factor was down a bit, ball speed was up a bit.
I'm always somewhat dubious about such 'improvements' as I've done a few fittings over the years and had pretty much the same 'winning' numbers with a different driver each time.
However I like the look, feel and sound of the Stealth better than my TSi2. It reminds me of my much loved TM R7 for some reason. So I bought a used one with their shaft recommendation, then swapped that out for the funky VA Vylyn with no real difference.
I think Trackman numbers are optimistic compared to on course numbers, especially at course like my local (Moore Park) which has no run, but I've hit a couple of drives as long as I've hit anything in the past 10 years and it feels like there is a bit less drop-off on toe hits (my miss) than the TSi2.
Feel and sound are big improvements, if not quite as pleasant as the Callaway Rogue LS.
The only bummer is that due to the face, everyone you play with immediately knows you have a fancy and pricey new driver.
First tee duck hooks are even more embarassing.

Just changed out my 9015D for a Rogue LS, seems to go alright, hate the sound.
Marketing aside, did meaningful, objectively measurable gains in driver tech peak in about 2008? I have drivers from all sorts of moments since then and none of them are measurably better than the other.
New and shiny.

Tour burner TP version. Possibly the best I ever had. Mind you OG R11 was pretty good. Def miss the chalky white driver heads.

The ongoing fascination with additional length is always amusing, but if you can't hit the big dog straight almost all of the time then spending big on the latest and greatest is a waste of money.
Its easy to say that when you are an old flusher.
