Does anyone know how the action of the new Imperial line of rods from St. Croix compares to the Legend Ultra? They both are rated as fast. St. Croix just doesn't give much differentiating information between their rods on their website.

I was going to choose an Avid 908.4 until I discovered the new Imperial line. Is the slower action of Avid quite noticeable?

I'm just "casting around" for input. Thanks in advance.
