Depends on how much oil you're bowlin' in. But, I'd say the BW would be next choice. It can be a great ball if drilled correctly....

I like the shoes from Dexter with the interchangeable slides and heels. I think they are the SST-5 or maybe SST-6. I have found them cheapest on Ebay. I think at my bowling alley they are $200 or something. On ebay I have bought interchangeable bottom shoes for $60-$90 ish.

Honestly, I think the Toxic and the Big One is a great combo. You even said yourself that the Toxic can be used just about anytime except for heavier oil which is what the Big One is for.

What gap are you looking to fill? Do you want something with a sharper breakpoint? earlier roll? more length? etc... Once you understand what you think is missing from your arsenal, then pick a ball that matches. No point is spending all that money for something that's going to work about the same as what you already have. Don't fix what isn't broken.

IF HEAVY OIL,NO MERCY,I PLAY ON WOOD SOMETIME HEAVY MOST TIMES DRY,LATELY HEAVY,SEEMS LIKE OIL ALL THE WAY TO PENS,I REALLY THINK THE FEW GUYS THAT OIL DONT KNOW WHAT THRY ARE DOING,I MAY BE WRONG ,BECAUSE IM A ROOKIE BUT NEVER SAME ACTION ON BALL WEEK TO WEEK,SOME MY BE ME IN RELEASE AND FORM....:mad: :confused: IF I PLAY 1OR2 AMD DOWN AND IM GOOD,IF I GO TROUGH MIDDLE OF OIL TO TRY AND PLAY LITTLE DEEPER,DONT COME BACK,THINKING I MIGHT BE PLAYING WRONG LINE FOR CONDITIONS, NOT SURE

In my personal experience I always start off with a more aggressive bowling ball and then adjust accordingly. As for a wood lane ball pretty much anything with a shiney surface is good so, your toxic should be perfect..

I agree with starting with your most aggressive ball and most aggressive approach/release and then adjust accordingly.
