Are all innova discs with flight numbers more stable than their preflight counterparts? Both my roadrunner and sidewinder have been disappointing in this regard. What are my options to get my game back on track?

Well, when I am buying new disc I look at the shape of the disc I am replacing. I compare the dome height and rim angle of the new disc to the one I currently carry. The reason I do this, the new disc is more likely to perform like the older disc. I always expect new disc to have a slightly different flight pattern for some time until I break it in.
Keep in mind plastics cure differently which changes the overall disc shape and the same molds have different degrees of stability for this reason.
Disc weight will also influence stability. Are your new disc the same weight as the PFN stuff you once used?
Disc wear will influences disc stability, as you throw your disc they will change over time. You may need to beat yours in a bit to get what you expect. This can take some time.
One other thing to consider is purchasing the older PFN discs since they have performed well for you. In many cases the original owner did all the break-in work for you, which means you might get something closer to what you expect right out of the mailbox.
Good luck.
