Hi Mike O welcome , glad you found this place.

To me the question should be whether you want to include the SSU in your possible candidates list or not. The GSB is a proven blank line. The SSU is just out and what I hear I am skeptical of. The big difference as I understand it is the SSU is made from a higher modulus materials. Higher modulus was a big thing to chase for a while but now higher modulus can easily become too high a modulus.

I think the smarter choice is to compare the GSB to the Arra XRA line by lami. For your particular question I would look at the XRA 1205 , XRA 126-1MH and possibly the XRA 1322. The first two will definitely do what you want , the last one is iffy at 4.5 OZ but I think good to 4 OZ.

Anyway , I'm not condemning the SSU line , I'm just saying its wize to let others be the guinea pigs and see whether the higher modulus material will hold up to the challenge without breaking. It may take 2 years or so to have enough rods out there to prove this to me.
