Mission 2.0 was pearl. That ball at the time had the most pearl additive ever in the ebonite line. I haven't taken the shine off my pivot point yet, but they could be close. I would say the pivot point may be stronger with the same surface. I love my 2.0 and love the motion of the pivot point. I really feel this is an overlooked ball because it is ebonite. The pivot point really gives a great down lane motion.
