is there anything that would make one blank or the other more suited to be wrapped one way as opposed to the other way?

Rich and i were having this conversation last week. the input i had was to go conventional with the 1201M and spinner for the 1205. my reason being that i personally like a little slower action for my conventionals. the 1205 has been described as a bit of a faster action than the 1201. is there truly anything makes one blank more suited for either style? perhaps MikeP will chime in here as he seems to have at least 2 of every lami rod ever made.

of course, you could just follow my lead and build a spinner and a conventional on every single surf blank.
