The pads will be very Vaughn Velocity-like as Pete was the brains behind that design as well. I had two sets of Smith gear and was very happy with the design and craftsmanship. I was actually looking at becoming a sales rep for him way back when.
Personally, I would contact Warrior directly and they might be able to get you in touch with a sales rep. The sales rep might even have some demo gear available.
Just a guess, but are you being influenced by Shannon Szabados’ sweet set up for the olympics?

Thanks for the info! Actually, the influence is from over here in Dubai where I am currently playing, there are about 30 teams here and most of the guys have switched to Warrior and I'm loving the look of them.
After reading a few reviews the current setup I have right now apparently is quite similar to the Warrior style as well so that helped with this decision.
