The II has IMHO been a "failure" because the ball was polished. Activator+ is very aggressive on dry ground, and many people who owned one around here loved or hated it - nothing between. Very condition and style specific OOB. Would slip on any small oily puddle, and run off on dry spots. It was the last polished Activator+ ball... thereafter, anything with this coverstock had a compound finish (AI with Rough Buff, as well as some international Zones and the MoRich balls which have a finer base grit and use a different compound for a finer finish).
I think the II is not a bad ball, especially when you get it cheap. Just beware of the polish OOB. Try it, and if it is too squirty, I'd recommend either a high grit sanded surface on it (2.000 grit or so), or just Rough Buff. This should tame the thing a bit down and make it better to predict.
The Rampage, as far as I can tell, has no bad rep around here, and it is very common among female players. Probably the colors.
