To get in and open the lane up, the Reign would be the best bet. What I was seeing with the NP was a softer move off the friction. For me, I would go to the NP if the back ends were jumpin' and the Reign if they started to carry down in the back.
I have had to lightly scuff both with 4000abd pads. Storms factory shine skids too much for me out of the box (I am a med rev/med speed, low axis rotation player). I also wanted to be able to duplicate the surface as much as possible during routine maintainence.
I say "was seeing" because my NP got chewed up at the center yesterday morning. I have a long mark right smack dab in the area where I track. I threw a shot and the ball jumped slightly on the lane. I spoke to the center and they are going to replace it for me. Bummer as they do compliment each other quite well. (
