Due to work and rehabbing a broken right hand I haven't thrown a bowling ball since April. I still get my ball-whore on from time to time and I've been sitting on a pile of new and used equipment in my closet. I was shuffling around some things and one of my favorite Balls of all time (all companies, not just the big B) I pulled out of the box in my closet

my first reaction was:

Then after it sunk in, "Where the hell am I going to find another one of these NIB?"
My reaction went to this:

For my slower speed, rev dominate style this ball was money for me from anywhere on the lane on a THS and great on flatter patterns because it stays on line so well to the breakpoint and was super continuous. I'm eyeballing a February return to practice (With a 12-13lb ball until I can make it back to 15 by summer hopefully), so what would be close in the Brunswick line to the C-System 4.5? The Brute maybe? The contradiction on paper of a low RG/low diff pearl vs a high RG/high diff pearl has me confused on what to replace this with.
I have plenty of time to scour eBay in the next few months, but from anyone who has thrown the C-System 4.5, what have you found that was close?
