Am I Missing Something?

hello, I am a relatively new disc golfer (4 months) and have been going constantly so my game is now average on most 18 holed courses I play. My drives are anywhere between 350 and 400 (on a good day), my mids are acurate to about 150 and close-ish to about 200, and my putting is great in the circle, decent up to 15 feet and than it drops off drastically from there. But really I am just looking to expand my bag, and need suggestions for what to get.

My current bag consists of: (all Innova Discs)
Drivers:
150g Blizzard Teedevil (in the mail, intended as a new go-to)
170g Champ Boss (current go-to, will prob use when an overstable disc is needed, and in windy situations)
170g Champ Sidewinder (use more as a fairway driver than a distance driver unless boss is too overstable)

Mid Ranges
180g Star Mako (use for shots that require tight turns, heavy winds and sometimes in putting while facing a headwind)
170g Dx Stingray (current go-to midrange)

Putters
168g Star Dart

I can throw both backhand and sidearm comfortably (except for driving my sidewinder of the tee sidearm..the extreme torque makes it too flippy). I feel the one thing I could use for sure is a more overstable midrange, as there have been a couple of times where I said "I wish I had a Roc or something." I have also felt I could use an overstable putter (rhyno?) for getting around things as my dart does not hook tight enough. Any and all feedback is appreciated, thank you!!!
 
Just put a Rhyno in my bag as a compliment to my Wizards and it makes for a lovely OS driving putter. An overstable midrange isn't as necessary as some make it out to be. Unless you play in strong winds, you can usually do perfectly well with a stable midrange like the Buzzz, Roc, etc.
You can't go wrong with a Teebird, TL, Eagle, Leopard... All are excellent.
 
You could use an overstable putter/mid hybrid to fill the overstable putter and mid hole. Like a Zone.
 
I throw the Drone as an overstable mid and it hasn't done me wrong. None of the people on either of your threads on the subject has mentioned that one, so I just did. Wizard or Ion as a semi-overstable putter. Work with your Sidewinder sidearm and you should be able to develop a killer roller shot. I have the same problem with mine and it lost its place in my bag for that very reason... But it's a great roller disc and a roller is a great shot to master. And get a Teebird. Start with DX cuz it's cheap and flies beautifully, then move up to something else (I have a DX and a Star). A Leopard or River for a similar flight to your Sidewinder in a fairway disc would also be a good thing.
