I have the same problem, i.e. I never really see heavily oiled lanes.  I once bought a Track Enforcer ($220 at the time) and used it only a couple of times - a waste of money.  When I went to all 15 lb equipment, I got rid of the Enforcer and now I have a Predator Jungle Green, drilled stacked leverage for heavy oil (About $155 drilled).  

Every now and then on my late league, we are left with big time carry down.  I can play the JG inside and it beats the carry down great. The JG gets down the lane and has a very strong back end for me and carries very well. Works great on meduim oily to oily.   I haven't played it on a real flood like I usually encounter at the BJ at the ABC's, so I don't know if it will handle that.  However, even though I seldom use the ball, I don't feel so bad about having it since it wasn't too pricey.  If I wanted to use it more, I could shine it up, but then I wouldn't have anything for oil.

When you bowl after late leagues, and they aren't hooking, you may be seeing some carry down, particularly after a bunch who throw plastic down the middle.

If you are bowling on THS or short oil conditions, a heavier oil ball wouldn't be advised to add to your arsenal. If you are planning on bowling a lot of tournaments in your state and in surrounding states, I would say you need a heavier oil ball. I find that a lot of times in city/state tournaments, they will put out a heavier oil shot to keep the scores in check, and if you bowl a lot of scratch tournaments they will put out sport conditions or PBA styled shots.
