I built a Sage VT2 9' 4 wt last year to let clients use in the boat and since then I have had to build two more because folks have just bought them off of me after fishing with them all day. I think it meets all your requirements. The blue blank looks good and it is a fun build. I used double foot guides wrapped with black and tipped with electric blue highlights and black and gold trim on the ferruls and handle. I like overlining it with a 5 wt line personally, but your milage may vary.

Have fun turning out whatever you choose to do.
