I imagine, you do know that St Croix no longer makes the Legend Ultra. So them replacing it with an Imperial, which is not made in Mexico, but is made in Park Falls, seems to me a fair compromise. Which by-the-way, is a fine fly rod. Of course you could always take advantage of their trade-up program and replace it with a Legend Elite.
I do know that they do have some LU replacement tips for sale on their website. They are for Model Numbers beginning with only the letter U and those beginning with the letters UFT. Y
