I have both. I wouldn't say the Power Drive sanded is a heavy oil ball, but that will depend on your ball speed. It does have a very nice roll. I have mine drilled 4 x 4 with the pin under the ring finger. I have used it on several different surfaces with house conditions and would recommend for a heavy-medium house condition. It did not have much reaction on a 44 foot PBA pattern, but neither did the Action if you have higher ball speed which I do. I do believe that if the Action and Power Drive sanded were drilled the same and on the same condiion the Action would come out ahead, but that should be expected. Both balls hit with plenty of power and carry very well.
