The Widow at 1000g is a MONSTER!!  HAvent tried the NM yet, but I'm sure the BW will give you a good reaction at 1k or below.  When choosing between the NM and BW, I think its just a matter of asking how hard of an arc you want.  If you want a hard arc snap then BW, if you want something smoother but still hard arc, then NM.

well mine is at 500, and it as strong a ball as i will ever need. but its still angular at the break if it gets dry. I have a vid of mine here and you can see, its relitavly smooth when its in atleast a bit of oil(first shot) but if it gets dry it wont quit like every other dull ball, it will flip!(second shot) and the last shot is for refrence to how much is out there with a powergrove.
hope that helps get an idea of the reaction(and versitality) of the BW
