[Recommend] Dynamic Discs Witness Replacement

As a previous witness thrower, I've replaced it with a Titanium Heat and haven't looked back. Better feel in the hand, and almost the same flight. Perfect for dead straight medium powered shots, long turnovers that don't burn, long S shots, and better for forehands than the Witness.
 
Thanks for the suggestions. Both of those are 5 speeds and I have that slot covered with my DGA Rift. I have thrown the Mako3, didn't work for me and I've given it away. Never thrown Westside discs....

I'm looking for speeds 6 to 8, understable (-3 turn or so). The suggestions I have so far (besides the #1 option Sidewinder 9 speed) are:
7 speed
Westside Underworld
Discraft Sting
Infinte Discs Sphinx

6 speed
Discraft Glide
DGA Tremor
MVP Relay

8 speed
DiscMania Essence

I have 9 speed covered now, but there were other suggestions for that speed.

I need the disc to be fairly flat topped as that is what works best for my forehand.

As for the Tremor, it's an amazing disc, especially if you're not throwing a lot of forehands. Hyzerflips, and huge easy turning shots. It's TRULY understable fresh out of the box. Careful not to overpower it, but a great tool if you have the touch.
 
It's been a while since my last update....so...to replace my Witness....

-I'm still loving the Innova Sidewinder, I have a USWDGC Halo Sidewinder that is absolutely straight for me.
-I had a Dynamic Discs Escape that I also used a lot. While it wasn't as straight as the Sidewinder, I could get a bit more distance with it and a fade to the right (I'm RHFH). However, the Escape I used became a kite and sailed off to the lake. I have another Escape, but it doesn't fly the same (might be a different plastic).
-I recently got a Legacy Mongoose and wow! I got my longest tee shot with it (didn't count as I missed a mando) and it flew pretty straight. Had a couple bad shots with it and trouble finding it (dark green wasn't the best choice for the day), so I switched back to my Sidewinder.

I want to test the Sidewinder and Mongoose side-by-side...but it's difficult. The field I normally use for testing is a school football field - works great since it has yardage lines that I use for checking distance, and hash marks that I use for alignment and to check the flight of the disc (straight, slight curve, etc). But the school is closed due to COVID-19, so that is out. The next largest field is ~45 minutes away so I don't get much chance to get there on weekdays, and on weekends it is crowded with other people enjoying the park. I've also been testing a Legacy Enemy for a right-finishing option since the Sidewinder and Mongoose are fairly straight.

For shorter range options:
-I have a really beat-up Innova TeeBird that I'm liking for shorter distances.
-I'm throwing a Discraft Glide for one specific hole*. My main course has a slight downhill to the right hole (218) and I can pretty much park the Glide there. (I took out four mid-ranges to that hole one day and just kept throwing tee shots to see which disc would be the best for that shot).
-I have a DGA Tremor, but I just can't get the hang of that disc yet...so it sits on a shelf and I bring it out to test every now and then.

*The Glide may end up coming back out of my bag...or find a different use. My RHFH is getting a bit better and last time I played the hole I use it for, I overthrew the hole with it. It might be a fluke or my form is getting better...I just have to see how it goes.

So thank you all for all the suggestions on discs to replace my Witness.
