If you are talking about flight, you could just check Joe's Flight Chart and see what they are close to.

If you are talking about what mold pieces the discs have in common, it doesn't matter. The Sentinel is a Stingray top with a Cobra bevel and a nose spacer. It doesn't fly anything like a Stingray or a Cobra, so the fact that it shares parts with those discs is kinda immaterial.

I always thought the funniest link was the JLS and the Whippet X. Supposedly they have the same wing.

All this is very interesting. I began playing in '96. My 1st disc was a DX Cheetah. My 2nd was an LS which was given to me by a stranger at a course. He saw me throw, said "try this", handed me an LS, I threw a laser with it, and he said "keep it, I have 2".

I soon upgraded to the JLS (loved the plastic and results compared to the DX Cheetah!). For a long time I was beating my friends with Millennium while my friends were throwing Innova. I have mostly Innova now that they have surpassed Millennium, but I still carry one disc of each Millennium model, they are still solid discs.

I had no idea the history. Cool, thanks.

Wondering if there is some type of chart which shows what each Millennium disc is.
In addition to what has been stated above, the Orion LF is a Starfire Top/Firebird Bottom. It flies somewhere between an Orc and Viking while being a tick more (over)stable.

The Orion LS I'm not sure of the parts (I think it has a Valk wing/Starfire top.) It flies between a Valk and Viking.
