to be honest....i dont think that you need both The one and the Big One. they will be very very much similar and will be much of an overlap. I think this combo might work.

Road Hawg
The One
Over Time (semi weak drill)
Doom
Pure

i think bowler kid is right on the overlap, but expand the overlap with the road hawg and the one, covers are similar in oil absobtion rate cores different meaning different reactions but think they will be close plus i dont know what ebonite is thinking with the one and the big one dont make sense to have balls that close together in same line.  I am all hammer and my arsenal is as follows from heavy to light.  Hawg,High rev(this one supprised me), Hawg wild, saw blade, big rig, switch blade, vibe.  Have doom but it overlapped threw pins too high hit like truck but was leaving everything under sun with it.  The one would fit in between hawg and high rev, i did have that ball too but i couldnt throw it anywhere around here it had way to much backend. hope this helps a bit if have any ?'s message me.  I have drilled just about all balls out right now dont have that many reviews cause just dont have that kind of time to write all those reviews.

HAWKEYE, I like you choices for your 5 ball arsenal. I think you could have plenty of separation with you layouts with those balls. Where is your spare ball? How about a TUFF?

BOWLERKID, I would like to inform you that THE BIG ONE is quite a bit stronger than THE ONE on the backend. (5-7 boards) It also starts up a bit sooner than THE ONE does.

REVLEFTY, The Road Hawg and The One are different coverstocks and the oil absorbtion rates are not similar at all. As a matter of fact somewhere in here Ron Hickland comes on and mentions that the Road Hawg is around a 6.X and The One is 10.7 and The Big One 11.2

he means the oil absorption rate...
The One is 10.7 the Road Hawg is 10.9 ...

Its a new fad starting, hope it don't make the ball fill up with oil 2 fast.

Both balls are asyemetric

I not making this stuff up ebonitehammer dsm i am in these forums all time and do all my research anywhere i can on the new balls that came out since we have gotten info on the road hawg they are advertising that the oil absobtion rate is 10.9 I know the balls have different cores and have different mass bias so the only comparison i was making was the oil absorbtion rate.

I have not thrown all those you have listed, but IMO, you do have a bit of overlap.

I'd go

Road Hawg or XXXcel
Big One or Hawg Wild
Doom or OverTime
Vibe or GameTime
then you said you already had a spare ball.
