Sage Xp compared to Redington Cps?

I was looking for comments from those ppl who owned both rods or who have cast both rods.I have heard they are very similar in the 5 or 6 weights.
Opinions appreciated

I own most of the Sage XP rods and a close friend recently purchased two of the Reddington CPS 4pc rods.

The CPS is very close in casting feel and swing weight to the XP and half the cost. It is an excellent design for the retail price.

I have been told Sage/Reddington developed a dedicated plant in China for the Reddington rods. They do not share the technology with other rod makers as is common in Korea sourcing.
