I don't really see much of a hole but I guess you could add a ball between the Ultra Zone and LevRG, maybe something like the Copperhead?

And it seems as if you don't have a ball that is really snappy (I haven't seen a snappy twisted yet...) so you could plug in a Swarm as well.

I had to guess a bit there as it looks well rounded to me.

I'd also only see 2 potential "gaps", but am not sure if they are really existent:
a) I'd consider a simple symmetric ball for medium conditions and up, as a fallback option to the asymmetricla stuff. From my experience, the "utility window" of strong MB balls can be quite narrow - either they work, or NOT. I found that a rather simple symmetrical core ball can be a very good sleeper in the bag, esp. when it counts to keep up a consistent game. Esp. for long oil and spotty lanes, I'd consider something conservative.
I'd, in this case, either recommend a Copperhead (much like streamline),. maybe a Ultimate Inferno remake or a Smash Zone, though these all might need surface adjustments.
In my arsenal, I have a Frankie May Gryphon at 2.000 grit Abralon that does a tremendous good job on medium to medium-oily conditions.

b) Maybe a Power Groove Dry/R if things get really dry/light, but again, if the Rhino does the job well, this is just a suggestion.

does the LevRg cover floods? If you run into the soup you might need something stronger. I used to use a Brunswick Swamp Monster with great success...also my old HPH did the job too (the more I think about it, Big B made a lot of my old heavy oil equipment).

Also, like was suggested earlier, something that will give you a snap into the pocket...might I suggest my purple Fuze that I'm selling!

You might look at a Awesome Revs if you can still find one, with your lower speed you probably will need to knock off the factory compound finsh and go 2000wetsand or even a little polish, I keep mine at 2000wetsand, very strong and very smooth (4 x 4 layout pin up because I'm a high tracker). I can use it for everything medium and above, only problem is your top three will not see much action anymore, lol. Can you tell I really like this ball!

Sidewinder, nice medium oiler good for smoothing out over/under.

I don't see a skid/snap ball,I second the swarm.I would also consider a high load particle for floods.all ractives need some friction,what do you have when there is none?

Would depend on what you can get your hands on, some pieces are hard to find or you might have the opportunity to get a specific ball from a dark pro sjhop corner - the options are vast, so it is easier to recommend current stuff here.
As for oil balls, there have been a lot of good and strong particle pieces around, like the aforementioned Swamp Monster, MoRich's Seek & Destroy or the WMB, I have been impressed by Ebonite's almost antique Red Sanded Predator... too many to list them all, it is futile
