Been super happy with the 1263. Awesome for steel and silvers, even kings to mid-twenties in slower water. Haven't fished the 1264 but would imagine the extra power could come in handy for heavy fish/conditions.

Only complaint is the weight of the rod. Holding it high when fishing floats all day makes my wimpy arms tired sometimes. An IMX model could be cool. Probably wouldn't consider a Gl2 for action/weight reasons.
