I'm looking at the MR as a ball for longer, med-heavy oil on synthetics when my Nomad Solid and Diesel Particle struggle at the break point and I have to slow them way down to get them to turn.  I'm slightly speed dominate (about 14 - 15 at the pins) with lower-medium revs and like to play anywhere from straight up 7 to a small swing from around the 3rd arrow.  Is the MR strong enough for what I want to do without having to make speed adjustments, or should I possibly be looking at a Mega Friction?  Any drilling suggestions for this?

For me the Mega Recovery is stronger than the Mega Friction I had drilled exactly the same. I have 2 Mega Recovery's one drilled up and box finish and 1 pin down and polished and both serve their purpose.

Both of your current balls are drilled on the stronger side and that is most likely the reason why you have an issue at the break point.  The balls are simply done by the time they get to that spot...imo you should try a 4 to 4.5 pin from axis drill.  If you do that in a MR it will provide you a different look that would retain a little more energy and should help with the line from third arrow.  Hope this helps. Good luck.

it is a heavy oil ball though, right??

I pretty much throw most name brands and like them all...

I'm going to try mine (5.5x5 oob pin up) tonight on a 40ft heavy volume Us Open shot on wood. I'm sure it will be waaaayyy too much ball oob but figure i'll try it there anyway. Depending on how much too much and how soon it burns up i may leave it at oob and try it on the 50 foot flat soup chot in 5 weeks

What is your axis rotation? If you have higher axis rotation the ball will naturally get down the lane easier than if you have a lower axis rotation! You need to drill a ball stronger with a higher axis rotation or in oil, or longer patterns it will never read the midlane and push pass your breakpoint.
