Guess I shouldn't pussyfoot around my throw, but outside of 200 feet, I usually feel better served with a Comet or Buzzz, or even an overstable one that I can fade into the circle.

A Putter like a Voodoo, but more durable for drives

I often use my Buzzzs down to 200ft, depending on the line I want...always an overlap area between putters and mids at 225-250 (275 is really pushing it for a putter for me) Usually the amount of fade I want and the ceiling I have is the determining factor. Admittedly, I need to get back out and practice putter drives.
But as far as stalling out, I've usually found that to be me: not throwing asertively to the basket, but rather tentatively, loosing the spin and speed required to hold the line.

Vibram summit is not the disc you are looking for. When driving with it it will turn with any power/speed. If you are looking to purchase a vibram product a ridge would be a better choice. New they have some fade, but after a while of beating them up the are straight flyers.
Grip Line Lat. 64 Pure- easy drives to 300' straight even into a headwind, Plastic is harder but obviously with the name you can GRIP it and doesnt seem to get any more under-stable breaking in. Almost rubber like but still firm. Small predictable fade and lots of glide!

I've heard mixed reviews about the pure's concistency. I'll admit that the plastic is pretty sweet, tho.

I have a nice Evo HPP Voodoo at 171g that is nice and firm.....great for skips and short driving holes..
Never had issues with max weights or GRIP line but Zero yes just due to the softness like a new waxy DX... kinda junk IMO but people like soft discs sometimes? almost has to be replaced after a year though where my GRIP line pure is going on its 2nd year still flying like it was new. It is not as EASY to throw as some of the standard putters many fellow DG'ers have come to love but never had issues with it being inconsistent more just my throw...
People blame discs too easy for their bad throws
Small diameter, rounded rim with a tiny bead. It has a neutral flight, can fly dead straight and drop. It has very little glide. People call it a "beat in Wizard" but IMO that's not a great description. Wizards will beat in to be leaky but still fade, Voodoo's don't really ever have fade but they'll beat in to a leak-and-turn flight.
