Build me a Lat64 bag

I am tired of falling in love with discs that are oop, and expensive to replace. I also have a rant re 17 molds for 1 disc and 18 variations of plastics for that same disc....it is exhausting. So I am considering trading of all my other discs and going with lat 64 and west side discs. I know they are far from perfect but I like what I see and hear so far. So build a bag around lat 64 and west side discs. I can throw 350 disc golf drive and occasionally 400 open field tosses. Thank you for your time and effort.

GMy bag currently consists of
Pro wraith= flow? Tight s curves for me
Pro katana for hyzer flips= west side discs king? Large fles shots wide open max d
X predator=havoc? Wind
Echo star tbird= river? Straight as an arrow
Ce firebird= trident or xxx? Overs table mid nice sharp left hook at the end
Z buzz ss= beat core? Hyzer flip touch shots
Z buzz= core? Mid duties when I need to crank it a little more than the ss
Old school wasp= pain? When it is just a little to windy for the buzz
Z hornet= ? Testing at the moment
Z drone= ? Sharp left turn at short range with a nice skip
Z xtreme- thumber= xxx testing for distance thumbers
Z flick- thumber= trident? My hook thumber precision disc
Ce whippet x- distance thumber= xxx? I need to go high far and long for a thumber

any suggestions as to what is a close replacement? I know that there may be no replacements. What are the gaps in the lat 64 lineup?

for mids you can't go wrong with fuse/core or fuse/pain combo; although the fuse and core have a lot of overlap. for fairway drivers definitely pick up a river or two, could try a striker for a stable fairway driver.

im not sure about drivers/putters. i have a bolt (driver) and i like it. tried a spike putter, but i didn't like it or it didn't like me.

OK, I'll try an abbreviated version:

Grip Pure
WS Swan
GL Pain
GL Fuse
GL Core
GL River
Opto River - Heavier
GL Striker
Opto XXX - Utility
GL Vison

Beyond that I don't have the arm. Maybe go to WS Sword and King. They seem to be more popular. But Halo, Flow and Havoc have some fans.

Thumbers are not just for getting out of trouble, I use them for 25% of my shots of the tee. I can thumber on the right line 250’ and land within 10 ‘of the pin. On those holes that there is an easy thumber line within my range it is an easy tap in birdie. So why do I need so many discs for thumber…why do you need so many discs for BH or FH?

ill make a comment on the fuse/core/pain all in the bag.

you won't use one of these disc much at all, probably the fuse at first, then the core when you actually start to use the fuse more. the fuse will do everything the core can do and more. i carry an opto and GL fuse with a pain to compliment them; my opto is waaay less stable than the GL. i still carry the core, but literally only use it on extremely low canopy throws, like less than 3' of clearance off the ground to the pin.
