I can't speak to the Nexus Pearl, I have never throwen it personally but I have seen a number Nexus Pearls used.
My RBC Seems like it is earlier and smoother than the Nexus Pearl. Nexus looks to be a touch more angular off the spot. RBC and Nexus Pearl both seem like they can handle good amounts of oil matter of fact I used RBC to start on Nationals pattern last week and had a great look and put up good numbers with it.
I can say that RBC Opens tight patterns up very well and gives you room to miss makes you feel comfortable. Also the RBC carries like a dream, if it hits 1-3 the pins go down. Go with the RBC and you will not be disapointed.
Hope this helps a bit wish I had more info for you.

I have the RBC, my teamate has the Nexus Pearl, so I will tell you what I see.
His Nexus is pin under the bridge, cg kicked and a weight hole on his axis. My RBC is pin under ring finger cg kicked a little and no hole, as for surface mine is oob 4000 and his looks to be maybe 1000 with rough buff. His stats are pretty close to mine, I probably have a touch more revs and a tad more axis rotation.
Overall the balls are very close in strength I would say almost equal, it's the reaction shape where they are different. Where his Nexus reads the mids and tends to be a little uncontrollable off the spot at times, the Rbc will read the mids and hard arc versus the almost snappy motion of the Nexus. What it comes down to is both are great balls, where I see the major difference is the control factor. Never since i have drilled the Rbc have I come across a shot where I didnt know exactly what the RBC was gonna do off my hand. That means alot, and like Mainzer said, I bowled on the Usbc Nationals pattern with the Rbc, and it was definitely making the pattern open up for me, If I could make a spare I would have won that tournament lol.
All in all both are great balls, definitely dont be scared to give the RBC a look, its a great ball.
