Does anyone have or have any experience or opinions on the new green St. Croix Legend Elite (not the older brown ones).

I'm considering buying one. Likely a nine foot five weight. Only problem is there really isn't any place I can cast one near my home before purchasing. So if you've got one or have cast one, what's it like? Fast? Slow? Smooth? I currently use a bamboo five weight but there's times when graphite would be a better choice, like high-stick nymphing (my bamboo is very much a dry fly rod and doesn't perform well with weighted flies) so this rod would be used in those situations.

Thanks for your replies.
