Planning a new 4 ball arsenal. Any suggestions?

Hi all, I had an idea of a 4 ball arsenal that let me bowl on a variety of sport patterns. I'm a left handed stroker (200 RPMs), lower ball speed (13-14 mph), about 30-45 degrees of rotation, and medium axis tilt. I wanted to see if my choices were sufficient and/or if other balls would perform better in the same slot. I prefer to roll Storm/Roto Grip equipment but any suggestions from other ball companies are fine as well.
Arsenal:
1) Storm Sure Lock: Solid asymmetrical ball. Earliest, smoothest roll. I've seen a lot of pros have success with this ball (Liz Johnson just won Chameleon with it).
2) Storm Intense: Pearl asymmetrical. Will give me more length than the Sure Lock but the same mid lane read. More angular motion as well.
Roto Grip Dare Devil Trick: Solid symmetrical ball. Benchmark type reaction. Very versatile; I've seen a variety of players use this. Looks like a great ball to have in the middle of my bag.
Storm HyRoad: Hybrid symmetrical ball. Arguably the most revered Storm balls. Gives me an option when the lanes transition a bit. Being a left hander, I won't see a ton of transition in tournament play but can still expect the front oil to break down.
