I agree.  Never mess with a winning formula.

Besides, your new Thing Returns will be more angular than your old one due to the simple fact that it's fresh surface.  Your old one has some wear and track giving it more "tread" through the midlane.

Take your old one and play with surface.  It's a great idea to have two of the same ball and layout, with different surfaces to tweak reaction.

I was told of a story of Parker Bohn (not sure how true it is).  He'd drill three or four of the exact same ball with same layout.  He'd scuff them all up, then throw one in the Luster King for two minutes... the second ball in for five minutes... the third ball in for ten, and the last ball in for twenty.  Allegedly, this gave him all the "looks" he needed, since he's concerned with when the ball makes its move.
