Probably the Red Zone. They both share the Activator coverstock with a bit of shine. The only difference is the core. However, with the proper layout, you can get a similar reaction.

There are more differences because the Red Zone uses the solid version, while the original used the parl version. I think the overall consensus is that the Red Zone is very flippy, while the original was not considered by most to be flippy. But then oil has changed a bit over these 3 1/2 years. On today's slicker oils the original may indeed be flippy.

So while there are design differences, I wouldn't be surprised if certain drillings of the RZ can be made to emulate the OI.
