Thanks for all the info. I decided to just buy the 6wt and see. I took it out to the casting pools and gave it a try with a few different lines.
Hardware looks pretty decent: two stripping guides, snake guides, fighting butt, alignment dots. Made in China. I like the color overall, though the disco era styling near the reel seat makes me laugh. The shape of the grip may or may not be your cup of tea.
I didn't think it was as fast as my Fenglass 6wt, and felt like it required a slower stroke. It did OK with a half weight heavy WF6F Cabela's prestige premier (what I usually use on the fenglass), but I thought it was a bit better with an Airflo WF6F super dri elite trout, which I think is a bit longer head but more true to weight. I have a WF6F Cortland 444 peach somewhere that I ought to try it with, too. I felt like it roll cast pretty well.
That is just my impression after an half hour. I think I'll see if I can catch some fish on this thing sometime
