Which pair of these three will compliment each other and will be a great add to my arsenal? I was thinking about getting the Reign and the Reign of Fire, but I also want an Invasion. Any suggestion or ideas?

Looking at your current arsenal, The invasion will be very similar to your mutant Cell which would be similar to the Reign of fire. You pearl Cell will match up similar to the Reign but the hyroad might be a good in-between for your current arsenal. I would get just the hyroad but if you really want to get a pair of balls maybe add the invasion with a different drilling then the mutant.

I don't see anything wrong with what you have already, but if you have to spend the money, then I would go with the Hyroad. For the reasons already mentioned above. If I could throw away all of my bowling balls ( I could never throw away my X Factor though ) I would get a
low rg - high flare matte
med rg - high flare hybrid
Med rg - med flare pearl
high rg - low flare pearl.
And I would probably carry the high flare matte ball and the Med flare Pearl to league.

I bet the natural will be about the same as the vertigo so don't waste the money on the natural Vini. My Vertigo died on my after less than 30 games, gave it to a high rev friend of mine who hated it too. It was one of the worst balls I have ever owned.

it is strange Coach Jim, but I consider my vertigo a strong ball.
To be honest I bought it very used. Plus I have used it A LOT. It might have like 300-400 games on it. It really has some big scratches on it. But it hooks like hell, and has a very powerful pin action.
Actually on the videos that I uploaded, I am using my vertigo.

When I first became a member here, I used to read the posts about ball dying after approx. 100 games, and after that the ball wouldn't give you the desired action. So last september when I was in a competition in Austria, I bought a FullSwing. The first and only ball drilled exactly for my hand (lol).
And I didn't use it. I was kinda saving it for my next tournament. But after reading your explanation on the cover (one of the best explanations), I am starting to use it.

I have noticed the reaction is pretty much the same between Swing and vertigo. Well Swing is a bit smoother.

PS: I believe that I am not such a good bowler as to benefit from an expensive cover.
It's like putting "Formula 1" tyres on a car that will not go over 80mph.

So again - Thanks for the advise !!!

You must be one of the lucky few, most people I know who owned a vertigo the thing either died on them quickly or I have only heard of one other who says it still works great.
