Complete has midlane, I don't think the Total has very much midlane. While I would say the backend reaction is very close to the same. I would say it is a good 3 to 5 boards stronger than the Total on a THS. The Complete really showed its colors to me on the Scorpion pattern. When I was playing about 13 at the arrows with the Total,I would be at about 18 with the Complete. To me the Complete is a better all around ball than the Total, but you still have to take extra good care of it.
