If you're gonna pick up a Flow, get it in Gold Line. The Optos are much more stable. They don't fade as hard as a Wraith will and they have a TON of glide. Those Nords can make some flyers.

My experience as well except I threw Champ Beasts...

Pro Wraith or Star Archon. The Flow is probably good too. Although not made in America.

I think a good upgrade, although not faster, would be an Orc. A little more stability so it can take more power. I dunno. I suppose a wraith is just a bit faster and similar to the Orc, but I think Orcs are great.

^completely true from a stability stand point. The Orc has less high speed turn than the Beast, at the same speed. OP was looking for more distance, and although he didn't say it, he seems to imply (or perhaps we just inferred) he'd like it to fly like a Beast. If he can get the Orc to a highre speed, it might gor further than a Beast. But I can get my Acrhon out farther than my Beast with about the same release, and it pretty much has a similar flight.

So I picked up a Flow in the Gold Line and a Champ Archon. The Archon is beat in a bit, but still has a good bit of fade for me. The Flow is VERY finicky, although I'm used to easy mode with the Beast. The Flow seems like the better choice if I can get the release right, but neither can fly as far as my Beast yet.
