I threw a Dagger, Bandit and Marvel Pearl while at Storm U a couple weekends ago. I threw the Dagger, Bandit and Marvel Pearl on 40' and a 37-38' challenge shot. The Bandit was skip/snap and not as smooth as the Dagger. The Bandit was probably 2-3 boards less overall but more on the backend compared to the Dagger. I'd say the closet thing recently I've thrown to the Bandit is probably the pearl Reign but the reaction shape is still different from a pearl Reign. The shape of the Bandit is what I remember getting out of a Columbia Detour I had years ago.
Marvel Pearl was definitely the strongest of those three. It reads earlier and is more controllable and rolly. But don't think that means it can't recover on the back because it does. Reaction wise it's close to an Agent but just stronger overall. Besides throwing it on the challenge shots I threw the MP on 35', 39' and 43' sport shots. It was the only ball I threw, including my own, that I had a look with on all 3 patterns. I'd think it would fit between the Anarchy and Dagger just fine.
I punched up a Marvel Pearl once I got home and haven't regretted it at all. It's strong but also versatile.
