Agreed. WMB is versatile, without kicking sideways on the backend. It does seem to have great carry across a wide variety of releases and speeds. The one xxcel we have done had a much more pronounced backend. Carry was good did see a few stone 8,9's. I believe either ball is a great choice but is more dependant on what you are looking for in hook shape. I believe they might be a good tag-team depending on set-up. One going longer before flaring, one set-up for earlier roll when more head oil is present or when shot is fresh.
