I've had plenty of toys to play with, too. My first was a Track 300T. Many Storm balls and a couple Roto Grips. Finally got a Hammer Widow which I was originally disappointed with until I played with the coverstock some.
You've got most of the bases covered by the looks of it.
I just had to get another classic in the IQ Tour Edition. Looking forward to it.
If I were you, I'd take a closer look at the Crux Prime. It's a ball with the SPEC coverstock and it's supposed to react a bit differently particularly in the dry boards. It's supposed to be able to not burn out and just roll afterwards. It has adhesion. The ball will continue through the pins possibly better than any other ball from Storm or Roto Grip. If I get another ball before next Christmas, that's the one I'll get unless I see something about it that I don't care much for. Last year I got the Code X to replace a Code Black I had and the X reacts quite nicely where the Black wasn't too much different for me than the Hy-Road Pearl.
Have fun. Good luck and Congrats!
