I would write down the names and prices of a couple of rods you are interested in and find a couple of shops where they are sold and cast them. See what you like best and buy a back up set up. Don't let anyone tell you xyz is the rod to get. There are a lot of very nice rods available they just need to be lined correctly. If you feel a particular rod is "close" cast it over or underlined. Nothing is over kill if you buy quality and use it.
