Rubber Basketballs

Our team is looking at buying more basketballs for demo purposes. Foam basketballs seem to be available online (no longer at AndyMark) but we all know how easily damaged they are, and they're not exactly cheap, either. Does anyone in the CD community have experience with rubber basketballs for demo events? A size 4 seems to be just a little smaller at a 24.5" circumference. What we don't know is: does the extra bounce cause an issue, and do they perform comparably with a wheeled shooter? I imagine the air pressure could be varied, but I'm wondering if this learning curve has already been climbed. Thanks for any input.
