First off, there is no way that a SS Ogre is comparable to the Blue Vibe. Cherry Vibe, maybe. Blue.....not a chance. Here is what I think would be most comparable.
No Mercy Beat'N - AMB Solid
Black Widow - Ogre Solid sanded up to 2000 abralon
Black Widow Pearl - Ogre Pearl or even maybe the AMB Pearl
Blue Vibe - B/G Centaur drilled strong
My reasons, are that the Black Widow Pearl is still not THAT angular unless on really stripped backends. The BW Pearl is still fairly rolly for a pearl. Both the AMB Pearl and Ogre Pearl are not "true" skid flip balls and therefore would most likely give you something more comparable to the BW Pearl. The Beat'N is a solid reactive that has a bit of pop on the backend. Not sure that a ball that flares that much (Immortal Solid) can be used as a length and strong backend ball especially with my own experiences throwing the Immortal Solid. The Black Widow is a ball that has very smooth transition and yet has some angularity and continuation. I believe that if you took the Ogre Solid and went up with the surface, you would find exactly that as 500 grit OOB is too much surface. Last, the Blue Vibe was not designed for angularity. It is supposed the be the earliest of the Vibes and the smoothest. The SS Ogre is far from smooth unless you drill it pin near the axis. The Centaur is perfect for that. Although the very low diff, the Centaur is a solid reactive that is smooth off the dry on lighter conditions. Hope this helps you out.
