I tried out my villain on the course on almost every hole to see what it could do (always second shot from the tee). In my assessment of my two Villains with about 30ish throws:
The Villain is a faster but slightly less stable XXX. I haven't been able to try it in 20mph or greater winds yet, but it is definitely more stable than my Blitz. I am not an extreme power player, but I can get a Blitz out past 300' regularly. It takes a great throw for me to get the Villain out to 300' (I consistently put my Halos out 350 and Havocs 375). I have been able to throw huge hyzer bombs over tall obstacles with the Villain with more ease than the XXX (tops out around 275).
Right now, it doesn't have a spot in my bag. My XXX and Blitz are going to be my wind drivers. I might bring it out on an extremely windy day to see if it can perform better that the XXX on those 30mph wind days.
I can't throw quite as far as you do... around 50 feet less, but I have come to the exact same conclusion that you have. It's only in my practice bag. (I only have one Villian).
I'm going to play a couple of forehand only rounds to improve that part of my game. The Villian will get another chance.
