Thank you Kutz! Very useful information and pictures. So now I know I'm looking for a mid 160s, firm, slightly domed, low PLH O-Lace... Now I just need to find some at a tournament or something since I have no shop nearby where I can feel up Vibrams.

... are the best available. Softs are amazing for hitting chains, and then staying there.
VP/Sole = great for player (like myself) with biggish sized hands
Ridge/Summit = better for players with smaller hands
Sole for putting. VP/Summit are great for approaching the basket. Ridge is one of the best driving putters available. Great line-up, from Vibram!
Counterintuitively, they filled their putter line-up first, and then added drivers, as their later releases, but putting should always be the emphasis in disc golf. Saves strokes, time and again. That is all, Vibramites.
VP and Summit are amazing approach discs. In my opinion the VP is the best OS putter on the market, it blows my mind that more people don't bag it. I never was a huge fan of the Ridge, I always wished it would have been closer to the Summit on the stability scale than the VP like it is. I really like Soles too but I just prefer Wizards as my putting putters.
Still, an absolutely phenomenal putter line up from Vibram.
That weight range and Medium-only is what Vibram shared with resellers a few hours ago. Firm will come later and I'm sure the weight range will increase. This isn't uncommon for a new Vibram release.Just saw on Community Discs the release date of August 1st for the Solace:

One item of interest was they would only be available in Medium and weights from 165-175. Don't know if this is just Community Discs or just what Vibram has produced at this point.
I just picked up a Summit after hearing so much about them. A little more stable than expected, but it holds every line well. Even lower speed turnover approach shots. So far I have been liking it a lot.
Does anyone know if the Four20 is still legal for use in PDGA events? I heard from someone local that it is not but I don't believe him.
Right nothing changed on the disc from when it was approved. Just discontinued the name.
I am going to wait and try to find a Solace under 165 when they hit the streets. My 170 Four20 is too beefy for my backhand but just right for my forehand. I have some big wind valley shots I really want to BH a lighter one that I think will fit snugly between my o-lace variants.
I'm sure non-Vibram throwers are thoroughly confused with some of the Vibram names. At the same time though, they are more intuitive than other companies, but I don't know!
