I have a fast (Legend Ultra)and a moderate/fast (Sage RPL) 9' 8wt rod. I'm toying with getting a 9'6" Legend because it may help keep more line in the air and may help in mending line on the water. Is either of these true and is it a noticeable difference? I've never thrown the longer rod. I fish steelhead and silvers with a WF line.

Thanks in advance for input from your experiences.
