Also had a Dry/R for a short time, but only know the B/G from seeing it in action. Pretty much agree with the afroementioned assessment: both balls are very different from each other, and the Dry/R has a very mild reactive cover, couple with a high RG core. It pushes so easily down the lane, while the B/G rather behaves like a tamed-down "normal" reactive. It is length vs. control, IMHO.
I doubt that you can do much with sanding on the Dry/R, based on my experience with it, because it is so mild by nature. I suppose that you have to make it really dull to improve traction, and at that point it more or less kills the ball's innate qualities. A Slingshot should be a true option - drilled similar to the B/G, this should yield a similar reaction shape with slightly better length in the front part of the lane.
