Just wondering if there is that much difference between the two hybrids besides the hi-gloss finish on the Hell Raiser or does the RG of 2.557 -vs- 2.59 make that much difference, thanks.

Also the Hell Raiser is at a really good price right now at bowlingball.com

The hellraiser promotes a skid flip roll vs the brutal nightmare being a strong and continous arc. The hellraiser will respond harder off the dry and is better suited for a fresh house shot or medium oil.

The core number differences are minimal and will change more so after the ball is drilled. The coverstock and the box finish is the much bigger factor.

Backwards...

The Brutal Nightmare will have more of an angular backend than the Hell Raiser. This coverstock is cleaner in the front part of the lane so it responds faster to friction.

I personally really like how DV8 uses the numbering system on naming the coverstocks. Makes it very easy to match up covers for customers. Hellraiser is a great strong benchmark reaction. Brutal Nightmare will definitely be more than few steps above in strength downlane.
