I have two UltraSonics. Both are smooth as silk. These balls are pearl/reactive blends. One is drilled 4x4 stacked. This ball is an absolute medium oil monster, when taken down to 800. It also has a little more reactive, than pearl in its coverstock. When highly polished, I can shoot down and in, both on mediums and lite oil.
My second Ultra has more pearl in its coverstock, than reactive resin. It is very smooth on lite oil and choppy conditions. It is drilled simple leverage, about a 1:30 drilling. I usually pull it out on conditions where the heads are fried or the backends are flying.
Can't go wrong either way. I never liked the jumpiness of the Boom, so I never picked one up. The SuperSonic to me, is just a very reliable piece for transitioning lanes. Reasonably good carry, with a consistent break point.
(Transitioning towards the dry, that is.)
I think you have the right idea for their useage. You are going to be pleasantly surprised, when you switch to the "Planet Series". The power of these pieces, combined with their overall smoothness is awesome.
