Hers' the "real" deal from Jason.  All the facts. Just in case you were wondering about the two new Pearl Ogres....due to release mid-April to Test Staff, etal.  This is verbatim.  My purple/black is on order.  The purple/black is coming out first.

"Hi Scott,

       The Purple/Black is a strong pearl.  It uses the Eradicator Pearl, which handles more oil and carrydown than any of our other Pearlized coverstocks (and is stronger than some of the particle pearls I have tested).  I know everyone wants us to come out with a Pearl Particle, but it isn't coming just yet.
       The Silver/Blue (which will be out in a couple months) is more like the Green Gargoyle, in that it is more of a skid/snap ball.  Not great for carrydown, but can open up the lanes when the shot has fresh backends.
       Additionally, in the plans (but not finished yet) is a particle Ogre for heavier oils, and possibly a hard urethane to replace the Slate Blue.
       I will add the spec info to your order, and get it out to you as soon as we release it.

       Thanks again,

The purple/black one sounds really nice and just makes it that much more of a plus that it comes out first.. I might have to pick it up myself, but I'll probably wait on a few reviews or possible video footage.

Thanks for the info!

Particle solid Ogre....hopefully in the plans for later this year, along with a urethane later as it sounds they are talking about them!
