You need either an overstable mid, or a really flippy mid. Or both. Since you are comfortable with FH, and BH, One disc could do it all.

I suggest you order an MVP Tensor. The reviews on this disc are very positive so far. The Tensor will suit your OS mid/putter slot, and can be used with flicks for right hand turns.

Something like a Leo wouldn't hurt either. Or, have you tried the Zombee? It would fill the gap between your Buzz and distance drivers. FWIW, I can throw my Zombee about as far as any of my discs. (I have D similar to yours) Those things have amazing glide.
 
Usually when I feel like I need an overstable mid, the FLX Buzzz does the job well, but I might not be thinking about the situations in the right way.

I do often feel the need for a flippier mid though.

I have also definitely been meaning to try out a leopard. Have not tried (or heard of) the Zombee - will check it out.
 
There are so many great discs out there, but one of the most highly suggested is the Leo.
 
I have a lot of luck with the westside Tursas for an understable mid. But, this is a category with TONS of good ones. And, I agree with above. You are needing an overstable mid as well. I personally like the champ gator, but once again...Many other great ones.
