I feel its going to be as close as you can get. I am interested em both of these balls because the wrecker still is kinda too much. I use it exclusively in one league.
I would send an email to rotogrip themselves or message mustang guy on here..
Heres what I see, a weaker cover than the shooting star, hence the new name..I think there was confusion with ultimate vusion being put on high end, then mid price (nomads) and now low end (rising and shooting)..I now understand(why it came about) the new naming/numbering system..but their lowest end peice now with all of the hp-1 mumbo jumbo, has to be close to that great sonic line of years past.
Depending on which sonic your are trying to replicate id adjust the surface and layout accordingly
