Sensitivity
What is more sensitive, a graphite rod, or a relatively softer glass rod?
Correct. The stiff graphite rod transmits vibrations 'better' (faster!) than the soft glass does.
Soooooooo.... How can soft flexible titanium alloy guides transmit vibration into your rod blank 'better' than stiff steel guide frames?
Seems to me they can't as the material will tend to damp vibration, not transmit it.

PS If durability and 'bang-ability' are the goal then the Recoils might be a good choice.
PSS Don, if you are going to fish braid on that Allstar why not go with smaller guides? I am running 40, 25, 16, 12, 10 ,10, 10 Fuji Alconite BMNAGs on a 1201M, at Sea Wolf's recommendation, and the rod is super sensitive (8 contact points between the line and the blank) and casts extremely well using Suffix.
