Is storm the only company that uses the same coverstock formula throughout all of their ball lineup?

We have R2S Solid, Pearl, Hybrid, Pearl Particle, Hybrid Particle

So if you like the solid R2S cover you get 3 choices on the core you like. Not so many choices on the other versions of the R2S but I'd imagine that the product line will eventually fill in with all R2S pieces. (Except for the Jolt line)

One advantage of doing it this way is that it makes it easier to assemble an arsenal. But what are the disadvantages to a company handling their lineup this war? If coverstock is 60-80% of a balls reaction do you get a lot of pieces that behave pretty much the same aside from small differences? Would mixing and matching covers and keeping the core the same be more desirable?

I have wondered about that as well. Especially about two years ago when Reactor first came on the scene, the only current balls that didn't use it were the Vertigo and Trifecta. Tropicals, Hot Rods, Banshees, Agents, Fires,... Seemed like you'd run the risk of being really screwed if you didn't like Reactor. Seemed a mighty strong cover to use on an entry-level ball, too, considering that Grooves were using PK17.

I thought the fact that you had your choice of core was neat and unique. Definitely something you didn't get with other manufacturers. Activator? Only on an Inferno or Zone. PK18? No asymmetrics for you.
