I currently have a lev 27 powerback with 89 str and 50 speed/agility. I am curious if anyone has a succesful powerback with str in the 90's+. I wasn't sure whether to keep building strength or bump up speed/agility to 2nd cap.

You will notice an immediate increase in your ypc if you increase your speed and agility.

Because he breaks a longer run now and then I assume ?

Yup.
Not only break longer runs, but hit the hole quicker as well as evade tackles.

Yeah you need speed 2nd capped at the very least. It's one part of power backs (the other being standards for "what is high strength") that has had to evolve. Raising speed on a power back isn't so much about breakaway speed or elusiveness as taking advantage of good blocking, and being able to survive with not-so-good blocking.
Bix has 94 strength, and I can confirm that the difference between 50 speed and 57 (what I raised it to when I boosted for season 5 playoffs), and the difference between 57 and 60.5 (what it is right now) is obvious.

+1 I'm even contemplating putting 2 in quick cut/first step with my Power HB once I start pumping his Specials up.

i truly believe this. its not how fast you are, but how fast you are compared to everybody else.

Kind of pissed when I saw in the Changelog: "Ball carrier gets slowed down more by passing through a pile of players, especially around the line"
Really fucking hope that means I don't have to add into vision to try to find holes or some bullshit like that.
