A complete guess, but just by the information given, I think a current Storm ball that would come close would be the Dimension.

In general, I've found Brunswick equipment to roll earlier and be more smooth/even than Storm equipment. So my advice would be to find the most even pieces in Storm's line and get that rather than trying to out-and-out copy a Brunswick ball. As has been suggested, the Dimension is going to be a good match because of its evenness. If you can find either of the Thunderstruck balls, those would probably work, too.

Given that the Grande comes sanded to 1000 grit Abralon (very DULL!) and is a combo of solid and pearl Activator, I'd suspect that whatever Storm ball you pick would also need a lower grit sanding to be equivalent to the Grande.
I'd guess the the T-Road Solid would be the safest comparative ball and at its stock surface. I inclined to think the Dimension would be stronger.
