yes, lami ratings are generally a little too high. do some searches on the blanks you are considering as many threads have been asked about the same subject and opinions of weight ratings have been posted.

you should be able to throw 4 ounces with the gsb1201m w/o a problem. it'll do 5, but that's pushing it and you are starting to lob the rod more than throw it.

the ssu1321mh is not as powerful as the ssu1201mh. i've lobbed 5 ounces with my 1201mh, but i don't do that often.

if you think you'll be throwing 4-5 often, you could cut a gsb1321m, go with a glass sb1213m, or an arra xra1261mh. a xra1205 can throw 5, but again, you start to lob. you could also look into some of the 2-piece ssu-series blanks as they are strong, but expect to put some money down.
