I've run OOB, 4000 w/o polish, 2000 w/ light polish, and 1500 w/o polish on my TNV with #3 drill.

My experiences so far...

OOB: Difficult to make the turn on carry down conditions. Carried light pockets very good but again took a decent amount of hand to make a turn.

4000 w/o polish: Read mids better and makes arc a little smoother. Since the #3 drill on my ball already reads mids pretty well this was not a problem to begin with. I was easier to make the turn than OOB, aka less revolutions needed.

2000 w/ light polish: This is what I finally settled on and currently using. Carry is better then w/o polish. It's a nice balance for me in terms of snap at the break point and amount of revs to turn the corner. Plus it's very versatile,  I can use it for almost any lane condition with some success. Except for maybe heavy oil with a lot of carry down.

1500 w/o polish: I didn't keep the surface at this condition very long so my experience is limited. It was actually a hook monster with this condition. If you have a decent amount of hand but don't throw it at least 17mph I would stay away from this. Worked very well for carry down conditions. Out of all the surfaces I have tried this one had the hardest time taking out the corner pins.
