Let's talk about the Roc for a change!

OK, I've been a player for a while and I fall in and out of love with the Roc. Lately I've been doing research to figure out what I have and what I'm missing as I'd like to get the complete Roc experience. So for all you Roc lovers, tell me your favorite/least favorite Roc and why.
Also, check out my Roc stash and let me know what you think is missing or what I should try out.
And lastly...can someone tell me if the Classic Roc and Ontario Roc are the same thing?
Here's what I've got...also let me know if I got something wrong
160 RW-Pro Japan Open Rancho Roc
149 KC Pro Rancho Roc
148 DX Rancho Roc
150 KC Pro Rancho Roc
175 Super Roc (2004 Iowa World's fund raiser...nice and beat in) Rancho
168 KC Pro Rancho Roc
169 2003 USDGC Candy CE Rancho Roc
180 2007 USDGC Star Silver Poppa Rancho Roc (My current favorite disc...BY FAR!)
167 Classic Roc 'Ontario'
180 12x KC Pro Rancho Roc

and today I just ordered a 171 Echo Star San Marino 20 Year anniversary Roc
and I've been eyeballing a 150 R-Pro from the Japan Open and one of the 150 Star's from the Japan open.

What am I missing??? What do I need?!?!?
Oh and Buzzz lovers...I just recently got my first one, but I think I make make next summer the summer of the Buzzz for me...so no need to insult the Roc here and tell me to buy a Buzzz

One thing's for sure, your summer of Buzzz will be a lot cheaper than your summer of Roc. All you need is a single 178 Z-Buzzz and you'll be set.

HAHA! Yeah but I like collecting the discs too and i'm always buying, trading and giving away discs. I just think the Roc is kind of cool BECAUSE of all the variations. I tell you what though, if I'm playing seriously, I'm not sure any disc will ever move that Silver Poppa out of my bag...it's so sweet, I'm thinking about spending the cash and getting a couple more before the season is over....

I'll be watching this thread. I'd like to see the differences between all the different variants, so if anyone would be willing to give a history lesson complete with visual aids, I wouldn't complain.

I've found other threads with some sweet history lessons, Three Putt seems to be the main knowledge center for all things Roc...I am patiently awaiting for him to chime in

I've always been tempted to buy a 150g Roc. What do they do for you? Are they still stable or do they flip nicely?
All of my Rocs are 175-180g


My friend got a 09 Champ Roc (San Marino) and I must say it feels awesome and flies great. Very domey

My 150 is super straight and great for playing catch to warm up. You can do just about anything with it though, you can throw big knife hyzers, big annys, whatever you want.

I would get some flat tops to and you wont throw any other ones after that

I got an R-Pro Ontario at Worlds and its soooo gummy and floppy. If that appeals to you then check this disc. It is dead straight out of the box so it will become flippy fast
