Recommended gyros that can keep up with fast rotation?

We have one of the ADXRS450 from FIRST Choice, and it works pretty well overall. Works out of the box, drifts a little but not terribly. The issue is we'd like to code a few "automagic" buttons to go to specific angles to face certain field elements (we already have the math worked out, and rotating the robot very slowly works), but the ADXRS450 is limited to 300 degrees/second before it can't keep up with how fast you're turning. What gyros does your team have / recommend? Is this a pipe dream? We could turn slower of course, but could still get hit while turning and end up losing the gyro again... thoughts, CD?
