Looks like a great list of equipment. Those are all good Storm pieces.

Take a different approach and build an arsenal by response to friction and you will have more versatility in your thought process and bag.

Quicker Response:
Virtual Gravity
Rapid Fire

Slower to Medium Response:
Dimension
Street Rod Pearl

Medium Response:
Hy Road

These are just opinions and not guaranteed due to not knowing all of your drilling particulars like axis point and tilt, etc.

I would definitely add the "regular" gravity shift to your arsenal.  The ball is is amazingly versatile and is the best ball I have owned in years.  Replace the dimension with this and you could even use it on most medium shots along with some medium heavy

I also own the Rapid Pearl.  If there is a dry board out there it will flip and flip hard.  While I have shot several big series and games with the ball it is very condition specific for me.  I know you can play with the surface drilling on the ball, but unless you want extreme skid flip the Hyroad or surprisingly enough, the Street Rod Solid (at 2000) would be a great ball for your medium/medium light shots.

Pick your favorite Heavy, Med-heavys, & lights, But You gotta have a Shift somewhere in the middle in my opinion.  Ask PDW & Norm Duke about it.  2 different styles, but same winning ball.  JMO.
