TO THE OP:
I just dropped from Destroyers to OLFs and have been having great success. For the last four years or so, I've been rocking Destroyers but now that I'm past 30 and my injuries are keeping up with me, I was really sacrificing a lot of control and having to "muscle" my Destroyers to do what I wanted them to. This is never a good thing, and it was starting to effect my entire throwing abilities, from putter on up.
So I took some advice from a lot of people on here and got me a QOLF 1.2 and a SOLF. Love 'em! They are in that weird "control driver/distance driver" category like your Firebirds. (I was told the OLF has a Firebird wing) But they are less OS than your Firebird, meaning you can work them more and get better distance. My QOLF is a wind-fighter...very straight with a good, forward penetrating fade. My SOLF I got at PIAS so it has already been well-loved and flies like a shorter, beat Pro Destroyer. Between that and my Terns I'm getting all my long distances covered.
But if you want to move a tic up, definitely look into Wraiths or Destroyers. They always flew the same for me, with Destroyers being a bit longer. Both are great discs available in a variety of plastics to suit your needs.
