Am I stupid, or is there no "right" optical mouse out there?

DA: I really don't like razer but this mouse seems to have a good sensor, not very claw grip friendly... O and LOD is pretty excessive
G400: Great mouse, great sensor now that it has no prediction... Not a fan of the ergo style grip at all, very hard to hold other than palm
CM Storm Spawn: Pretty much a claw mouse ground up, not a fan of the ring finger rest at all... very hit or miss with jitters, bad perfect control speed?
CM Xornet: Same shape issue as Spawn obviously... sensor seems to excel over spawn in some ways just to fail in others, bad perfect control speed?
Zowie AM: Good shape for claw but very stiff mouse 1 and 2 switches... Zowie seems to have horrible QC and their low lod seems to be at the sacrifice of some serious tracking issues.
Zowie EC2 eVo: Same issues as AM but even worse, very QC problem ridden, very normal to have tracking concerns at this early stage of them
IE 3.0/WMO/1.1 and the likes: Great sensors, shape different on each obviously but mostly the low DPI with no switching wont work for day to day computer use with a multi-monitor setup.

Ok, so that leaves me with a mouse with an optical sensor with no prediction/ no accel that will work properly on a cloth mat, one that I can use a claw grip on.. I mean who wants a palm grip mouse for FPS gaming? Not me. Cost: Really no object, I mean under 100 dollars would be in my budget and not many escape that price ceiling...

Yeah... I basically want a G400 with a G9x shell, to much to ask? I really really like the AM and ec2 eVo but dang, people have a lot of problems with these, I mean I have accel issues now but at least I NEVER loose tracking completely like these seem to do.
It pains me to say I feel like the deathadder with a tape fix is probably my best choice, even though its definitely not a super claw friendly mouse its not as particular in the way it wants to be held as the shape of the G400.
I feel like I want something that everyone would want... But It seems the market is too focused on the DPI war right now to get anything right. Am I missing a magical mouse somewhere along the lines?

Then the ones that do have changeable DPI are all laser mice with acceleration/prediction/quality issues. Pretty frustrated in my perfect mouse hunt right now.
