Not Really, unless you don't like your Match Pearl. I found the Match Series to be more up front and Slower Response than the Newer Series but at the end of the day the covers are the same and the changes will be subtle. New core design in the Match Up series will get the balls to be quicker responsed and more overall shape down lane than the originals The Match Solid does work for me so I don't think the Match Up Solid will make it into the bag unless I have a niche layout I want to try and cant get another Solid.
