World Class hands down, the Big Bang gets easy length, while the World Class starts early, difusing lane oil and heavier patterns better.
--------------------
Balls for this winter season:

Terminator - Stacked - Heavy to medium oil
Big Bang - Stacked - Medium oil
Buzz - 1:30 Label - Medium to light oil
XXXL - Stacked -  Spare ball

Big R Bang - Coming soon!

In my opinion, they both cover relatively oily conditions, due to the nature of their coverstock. Your delivery specs and ball speed would govern which one you may find more usable. The WC is earlier and smoother overall; while the big Bang goes a little longer before ... taking care of business. (FYI The WC's earliness is not a huge difference; it is easily seen on balls drilled identically but it is not a "life and death" difference.)

So if you have a lot of tilt and/or rotation, I'd be inclined to suggest the WC; if you have less release tilt and rotation than average, the Big Bang MIGHT be more useful.

Also, if you have any trouble with either ball you choose, both covers are easily modified. (FYI I regard cover modification as an essential part of the final tuning for every ball.)

I totally agree with Charlest's comments, but I would suggest that you base your decision as to which ball according to the factory cover that best suits your style and lane conditions. I like to use OOB covers for as long as I can and will adjust where I play on the lane or change hand position to make it work before making a cover change.  It seems to me, from my experience, the factory surface holds up longer and maintains optimal reaction,  with less maintenance.  

  I am loving my Absolute Power and am watching this forum to make another purchase.  With all the good reviews on the L/L equipment it is a tough decision.  I prefer reactive and am looking for something that reads the oil better than the Absolute, not necessarily stronger.  The Black Pearl sounds great as does the Big Bang for what I need but I prefer reactive. Will the Masterpiece fit just above the Absolute in oil handling capabilities and still get me down the lane, as I play on a rough condition wood surface?

Alex, sorry to hijack your thread.  I just reread charlest review on the Masterpiece and got the answer to my question.
