MS4...........239/242 111LSA
Vindicator...240/244 112+4
G5X4.........
but rumored to be very similar
Truthfully, they are all so similar, it wouldn't be worth the effort. The question is why do you want to change? What are you looking to gain from the swap?

There are several vendors who feel that they put enough effort into R&D of their cams that they do not wish others to simply copy their work. Some here say its poor business practice and they would never buy a cam that they don't know every spec on. Others agree that the vendor has a right to keep the spec's under wraps. Plenty more buy the cam because the results (and/or hype) surrounding the product. To each their own...
The truth is, if the cam works, somebody is going to throw it on a cam doctor and eventually spill the beans. It's only a secret for so long. I know I've seen the specs for the G5X3 posted on the board, and they are incrementally larger than the G5X2. Many have assumed that the G5X4 is also incremementally larger, but I have never searched for the info.
At this time, all the cams in this discussion are larger than I would want to run anyway.

imo, its a waste of money switching from a shelf cam to a different shelf cam of similar size. If you really feel the need to switch cams, have PatrickG, Predator, FTI, Futral or any of the other known Cam gurus to spec you out a custom.
Or you can put the money towards more dyno time with the MS4. The bigger cams need more attention to max out than the smaller cams.
