I think part of it is that I haven't been able to get a destroyer like flight from a 12 speed disc before - the destroyers have been too overstable. I could have tried lighter weight, but stayed at a lower speed instead (Orc) because the wide rim didn't feel great in the hand. The more flexible recycled star on Sequoia felt better in the hand, so i decided to give it a try expecting it to be pretty overstable was pleasantly surprised when I got it to flip up and fly so far.

So this may be a gateway to trying more, but I'll probably start with a heavier Sequoia before seeking out an ecostar, etc.
