TaylorMade SIM2 Max 3-wood
Full reviewThe short answer
Buy the Launcher XL Halo 3-wood if you want the more forgiving club, you want the newer design (2022), you need help getting the ball in the air, you fight a slice.
Buy the SIM2 Max 3-wood if you strike it consistently and want more control, you want to spend less (older models sell for much less used), you already hit it high and want a flatter flight.
Both sell used for well under their launch prices ($250 and $300). Live used prices are coming soon; until then, use the shop links to see what each costs today.
