Storm makes some great balls no doubt about it but they also rarely discount anything. Seeing them re-release the Marvel Pearl at that price point wow. Its their business model and it works for them I suppose but often there are other balls just as good (with a few exceptions aside) for 2/3 to half the price. Then again I am a bit of a ball junkie who loves trying all the brands. Have to admit for a single digit arsenal hard to go wrong with Storm/Roto and everyone matches up different with different brands.

I agree. You can't really go wrong with all of the equipment out there, certainly a ball for everything that cna be thrown our way. There was a time where I would shop the bargain bin of the stuff that was discontinued, still do actually. I don't need top-end stuff to score, I trust my ability enough. Heck, my Diva Xoxo only cost me $60, plus drilling, quite the steal if you ask me.
I'll jump and make a purchase if I like what I see. I don't look to fill a specific gap. After watching the videos of the new DV8 stuff, nothing screams at me. The Black Widow urethane looks good though, especially with that core. The Show-Off looks like a bargain as well.
