i haven't thrown the cherry vibe, but have thrown the emerald vibe.  it is a lot stronger than advertised.  it has a very sharp backend and is usable on mediums, maybe light depending on drilling and rev rate

ive thrown both the cherry and emerald... cherry was drilled stronger than the emerald and the emerald was MUCH sharper on the backend than the emerald and i thought the cherry was angular until i threw the emerald

"emerald was MUCH sharper on the backend than the emerald"

all righty then, that just about sums it up.

These balls are angular?

I have a Cherry pin under bridge 5 5/8 pin to pap and 4 1/2 cg to pap at 2k abralon no polish, ball is super smooth knocking down the cover and having the pin a weaker position.

Just another thought for you on your choice.

Emerald is 6 X 5 (pin above middle for me) due to high track - but good ball for broken down stuff.. On mediums it likes to cruise but 3rd game in league, that baby always has me going 250+!

Does the Columbia Jazz compare to either of the Vibes?

No, the Vibes are much stronger.

Reaction can be different depending on the bowler but overall the Emerald has the most length with the sharpest backend of the series. As per usuall, depending on drilling, coverstock prep, and rev rate.
