From what I have seen from the two, my Brainiac had a lot more hook compared to my Ridiculous Pearl.  The Ridiculous Pearl was a little weaker, but saved all of its energy for the back end of the lane.  The Mastermind Brainiac was a little more readable in the back half of the lane and was a total of 3-4 more boards hook. 

That's a very apt description Chris. Matches what I see too

Thank you amyers2002, I appreciate your input!
