My buddy showed me his 4 year old DX Roc... I think I might always have Comets. My oldest KC and a 6/10 DX I traded for are both more stable than a fresh Z Comet.

Last summer I started to put more time into disc golf and have been experimenting with different molds. Last summer I found a beat in roc(with no name on it) and fell in love. Then I purchased two more to cycle(for more love). I use my rocs from 200-250 ft. and I love the ability to put the roc onto a line and hold it. I have a dilemma now… I feel like my rocs don't fill two slots in my mid-range line up. One slot is an OS disc throw on a sharp hyzer, usually because I have thrown a bad shot and I am trouble. Then the other slot is an understable midrange that will turn right and finish straight/right. I want to keep my bag simple but since I throw a mid-range almost every hole it would be good to cover all the shots.
Discs I own that I think apply here: Aviars, beat pro-d buzz, really beat dx roc, lightly used dx roc, new dx roc, pro leopard, Glo Champ Firebird.
I throw RHBH with a little FH.
Should my cycled rocs cover all my shots?
Since I like experimenting should I just buy new plastic and hope I am not disappointed?
Or is there another option?
I basically throw Innova so the two discs I was looking at are a Gator and a Foxbat.

Thanks for the advice!
I took my my brand spankin new 180 g star roc 3 out for a test run today. I would agree its over stable for the average guy. It was moderately windy today , 5-10 mph, and the roc 3 was trust worthy on 250 foot headwind shots. Never even practiced with this disc, and it was key to my game today. I think it might be my over stable roc for a long time. almost time to put a fresh kc on top of, my now straight, kc 180. Once I get my roc that turns over consistently, mids will be all rocs. ( stingray still staying for now). I could probably drop the comet due to 180 kc getting straight. Pretty happy with mid line up of rocks right now.Roc3 is plenty overstable

An X or ESP Comet might be worth a try for your understable slot. Comets feel very similar to Rocs, but fly slightly different lines. Also, if a Star Rancho Roc (the most overstable easily attainable Roc) isn't overstable enough, you could try a a beaded Gator.
