had 300c, did not replace it when i went to 15 lbs, was great at times, no so great other times, hard to describe, but not a consistent reaction if that makes any sense.
have 300a & 300t currently

300t - drilled pin down and weight hole on PAP, was great for NATS last year and awesome on short sport pattern, takes to surface changes well.
300a - have a bit of a trick drill on it, 2" pin-pap, does not over react, very smooth at the breakpoint. - also takes to surface changes well.
easily could have another 300t with a pin up drilling

300t on this years NATS team pattern goes straight.......
did not try it yet on minors pattern

mostly for lighter volumes
can be drilled for either sport or THS
300a and 300t do compliment each other, 300a will go further dowen the lane before it starts to turn over.
300t has an earlier, more predictable motion IMO

I drilled a couple of 300C over the years and they were a little sharper off the spot than I had expected and also picked up a tad earlier than I had hoped.  I have them if I need them, but I always have a 300A and 300T in the bag.  As previously noted, the 300T is gold on shorter patterns with some volume.  The cover is pretty stoudt for a 300 series ball.  I will warn that it picks up a good lane shine pretty quickly.  If you stay on it with a pad, you'll have no issues at all.  300T has been an old reliable that has pulled me out of many jams.  As for the 300A...if they burn up, it's definitely the ball you want in your hands.  The ball glides down the lane.  The length is so smooth and easy.  The ball comes off the spot pretty "firm".  It's not a big angular finish mostly because the core/cover combo just isn't capable of the check mark or hockey stick look.  The backend is definitely ample and angular enough to carry, but not so much that you have to fight it.
