As of today I've been eyeing the Storm Physics, but not locked in, open to ideas, but will go with a similar Asym RG/Dff ball either way. My goal is to find a ball that can do the exact same thing, for slightly heavier volumes, with a touch more angle/pop/movement on the backend than my current benchmark ball.
Storm Physix ................ 75-4-35
This layout would be considered long and strong for your specs. From what I have read about the Physix the coverstock is going to read the midlane stronger than your old trusted Pink Panther. The original surface on the PP was a 2x polish, very shiny. Lane shine has undoubtedly dulled the surface from its original but not as dull as the Physix's 3000 grit matte finish on Storms NRG coverstock, it is a strong one.
So, I went with the Long and Strong recommendation to help it be closer to the Pink Panther. I am not sure how well the Physix will shine up. It is going to need a shine to be anything like the PP. Out of the box the Physix is a much stronger/earlier ball than the PP even with the long and strong layout.
Personally I wouldn't want the same reaction as the Pink Panther. Unless you are planning on retiring the Pink.
The Intense Fire 65-4-30 could be drilled to be more like the Pink Panther with that touch more angle/pop/movement on the backend that you are looking for.

Normally I'd just have drilled it close and adjusted with a balance hole, but that's not really an option anymore. (I know I have until 2020, but I'd rather just conform now)
You still have tuning options. Drilliing the Thumb deeper will make it stronger.
To lessen the reaction drill the ring finger deeper.
