I'm currently averaging 218.xx across 2 leagues.
I bowl full finger and half thumb.
I'm using a 4 year old Hammer Blue Vibe that was only used 4-5 times a year for the 1st 3 years, but 3-4 times a week for the past year (15+ games/wk).
Here are 2 videos of my style:
Random old video, average game, but decent filming angle... although a different bowling ball

Good game, but bad camera angle... and with the blue vibe

I can take a picture of my span and pin placement if needed; I don't have that data currently on-hand.
My average ball speed is 14.5-15.5, depending on conditions. Ball weight is 15lbs.
In the past month or two, I've noticed that the ball just isn't finishing like it used to. So, ideally, I'd like something that is similar... just not burnt up. Possibly slightly more aggressive... but not by much or I won't be able to keep it on the left side of the lane. I'd prefer to not have much extra length... I tried a fairly non-aggressive ball with more length and a bit more backend, and just didn't like it.
Appreciate the advice, thanks!
