I have a sparkle core and a crystal z buzzz and to me they both feel almost identical exept the core is a tad domey and the buzz is flat. The flight of the core is a little more stable but not much. Basically seems like the same disc IMO. =my 2 cents

I haven't had an opportunity to throw the Core yet, but I have examined one closely. It does have more of a sloped shoulder than a Buzz creating more dome. The rim feels a little shallower than a Buzz (like an element, sentinel, stingray, impact) and where the inside rim meets the flight plate it is kind of rounded (like a shark, or ontario Roc) where a Buzz is very squared. So it did not give the impression of the Buzz as much in the hand as it does to the eye.

Also, imo the Crystal Z plastic does not fly so well (heavy, slow, beats understable quicker than ESP or regular Z), so try a Buzz in X, ESP, FLX, or regular Z.
