Hello everyone. I have both of these balls now along with a Fusion.  I have yet to throw either one. but FWIW, the Fusion appears to be set up for a smoother response to friction and a earlier roll. The Marvel Pearl looks like it is in a stronger flare position along with a quicker response to friction. The Agent and MP seem to be very similar spec wise and core shape wise. I am aware that the Reactor coverstock isn't as strong as it used to be. However, it is still a sharp change off friction. What type of layout should I put on the Agent? Obviously I should throw both balls before I make a decision,  but I wanted some ideas.

Are both balls new or are they used? If they are used, what is the condition of the surface?

Personally, I like to drill everything with the same layout.  This gives me a better indication of what the differences the core and coverstock give me with each ball.
