^yea maybe .25 of a point more turn but I think its more about the added glide that plasma seems to have that makes them a tad less OS than N or P...

Here is one of the Watercolor discs from Marshall Street... Neutron Mayhem
Looks like it can be done! I have a Fireball I like but rim is a gross off white.
PS: I think the Proton Envy is close in stability to my Neutron Envy and I much prefer the Proton Atom----I hate to say it, but I don't really use the Envy anymore.....and its weird....because that disc rules.... I wish the stability was a little more different because I wanna use a proxy atom and envy all the time I just cannot justify using the space and mixing it up like that, for now im putting whatever discs I feel like, which is cool, but does affect consistency and if I want to get better and actually cash in open....I may have to choose....or whatever do what you want
Sorry if this is confusing - Proxy and Atom have to be the smoothest/nicest approach putters I've ever used.

Hey thanks for the in depth review.... That's a long one that I'm happy to read every word, I appreciate it. Sounds like I'm going to be pretty happy with the Atom when I get it... I know what you mean about the Envy, the latest putters they are offering are awesome.. It is always tempting..
I'm even more pumped up now that laser straight putter/ mid slot is the one I'm trying to fill. If it is flying like a short Buzzz that's excellent!
I liked what Graham was doing with em + the stamp= gotta try em.
.
I was a huge Buzzz guy years ago. The Atom for me scratches that itch big time, just obviously with a little less distance. What a great mold.
Recently I've been using them for a lot of forehands too which has really jazzed up that part of my game.
I'm back with a little update on my MVP endeavors. I received my 178 Neutron Vector, and a 174 Proton Volt in the mail, and grabbed a firm electron Atom, and a 168 Neutron Photon from the used bin at my local pro shop for $5 and $7 respectively.
The Vector looks and feels a lot like a roc, but I haven't fully figured out how it flies yet. It definitely seems less stable than most Rocs. Though it has no real turn, I have to power it down do have it fly with the fade of a rancho roc. On a nice power shot this thing just goes so far on that straight line before fading, similar to an Emac Truth in flight. 5-5-0-2
The Volt I have is puddle topped, fairly stiff red proton plastic, and this thing is beefy. it's no firebird or anything, but it's more stable than my 169 blue eternal 2nd run Alpha. wants to go about 275 then fade decently hard. seems like it would handle a decent wind, haven't had the chance to throw it enough to know for sure. 8-4-0-2.5
The Atom is my favorite other than the Tangent I have. For putting I love the firm Electron, I like the low profile compared to my Voodoos, it fits well in the hand and seems to come out with less wobble on my hyzer spush putts. for throwing this thing is like the tangent with even less fade. I haven't thrown it on too many hyzers, but flat it just kind of goes laser straight unless there's a lot of air under it, then it holds a slight drift right to the ground. holds turnovers well. 2-3--0.5-0
And the Photon. It feels like the same rim width as my wraiths, it has a similar very flat profile to my wraiths, but my god is that wing sharp. It feels like holding onto a steak knife or something, I'm probably gonna have to gently sand the rim flashing down. in flight this thing holds hyzers well, on good rips it'll flip just a smidge, I probably don't have the arm to be getting a full blows S-shot out of this disc. it's nice for fairway skip shots and downhill rips. 12-4-0-3
I'm hearing good things about the Relay, and since my new MVP bag doesn't have an understable driver I think that's going to be the disc I persue next. I'm enjoying all this testing so far.
I have a habit of flicking my Proxy on holes under 300' after I throw my real shot. Half the time it ends up better than the first throw :doh:
The Proxy and Atom are surprisingly controllable for me on 200-250' flicks.
We need a GCR LE stamp....Electron Atoms are a blast inside 260-70' for me on touchy forehands, and Ive had a few 300-320' ace runs with particles lately too. Hopefully I can keep that up and it'll be just as much a signature part of my game as the stand and deliver.
