Dont know about the special agent but my dad has three vertigos and uses all of them... He uses low revs and med-high speed. Hope this helps

I have both, Special is about 2 boards stronger.  Also, The Vertigo is asymmetric-RAD, which gives a different roll and drill options.

If you can get a cheap Vertigo why not get it and see if it meets your needs?  Sounds like there isn't much down side.

what drillings are available does anyone know. sorry i dont know my PAP but i have a ball speed of around 16-17 mph and revs in about the 340 rpm zone.

on an oily shot and in tournament play i would like to use this.

surface prep suggestions would be good aswell if anyone knows

also i play a deepish shot swinging it through the oil.

I think the SA will be a little more angular than the Vertigo.
