The Grand Illusion has similar core, but different specs! The Horizon was lower RG with higher Diff. The Pluto is a solid, but it's a higher RG and low Diff. Horizon Solid specs:

The Nomad is by far stronger than people realize! The cover stock is what makes this ball great, plus the high differential does help a lot!
Nomad cover stock:
The Ultra Vision coverstock is bred from the original Sure Grip coverstock, but with friction enhancing additives that have given us great success with some of our other coverstock blends like the original Cytoplasmic, Cytoplasmic X, and the recent Cytoplasmic XL. This combination of enhanced friction and performance proven core technology is sure to please. This will be the most highly sought after weapon of choice.
I have the Horizon Solid and two Nomad solids and the Nomad has the strongest break point, plus they're easier to find! The Pluto is a great ball as well, but it doesn't have the break point of the Nomad, G.I., or Horizon!
