Thoughts please Gentlemen & Women.

I'm new(ish) to golf and currently have 2 drivers. Yonex .... stiff shaft 2011 10.5 degree driver with a closed face, and taylor made burner 2007, stiff shaft 9.5 degree. At present i use the Yonex and believe i'm getting quite good at controlling it. However......i have noticed that when i really go for it (not necessarily with a bad swing), my miss is a major straight hook (historically my miss is a slice.), i believe this to be because of the closed face, and i'm worried that if i continue to use the Yonex i'll just get very good at hitting straight with a bad swing?! Obviously the taylor made is still a GI driver but the face to me looks more neutral and would require a better swing and impact position for the same results. head to head the burner goes further, has a lower ball flight (obviously), and i havent hooked with it, however my slice does creep back for the very limited times i have used it.
My prediciment is do i leave the yonex even though it has provided me with literally the most amount of confidence ive ever had off the tee, and then move to the burner which all things working well,is the better driver for me. or do i stick with the Yonex knowing that even though its going straight it's only becuase it's masking my swing flaws.

a 'what would you do?' type question i guess?

I would go with the Burner solely on the fact that you don't have a 2-way miss, and that it goes further. If you can take out one side of the golf course and hit the tee ball further, all the while improving your swing, I'd say that's the way to go. Again, if that doesn't work out, you'll have the trusty Yonex at home in your closet.

Go with the burner. If you want to get a new driver, get fit.

Yonex is the way. Hooks are very easy to fix. The loft is good and you're used to it.

Yeah I much prefer to play with a slight hook/pull vs my big slice

Outside of plain and simple stat comparison from a trackman or similar, i'd say go with the burner.
Just because i don't like clubs to not be neutral.

Love my yonex fws though, i'm assuming your 2009 driver is a nanospeed 3i, like my woods. Easiest things i've hit since starting golf, and they go a mile.
Also, i think a hook is a "good" miss.

Yeah Tadashi Speaks the truth and knows his stuff so follow his advice!

Fixing a hook is much easier than a habitual slice

Have you tried changing your grip? Going with a strong grip with the Burner.
