I think SOL rodboard guy Surfmaster250 is the principal in the company. You could post there or PM him.
I think for what you describe , the newer Century Stealth 2 (second generation Stealth2) is a good match. Yes its 11 feet but it has what you appear to be looking for. My guess is that you could try one out by meeting with Chefchris or BigDave.
I have not seen a Fiberstar yet but he's been talking a little about them over on SOL for over a year. These are also the blanks they built on to do the most recent distance casting trials with various guide styles that Billy organized. As I remember all guide styles and layouts were almost exactly the same in casting distance except for the Low rider guides which performed poorly . Of course that depends a lot on the exact layout (especially with low riders) but in general those test results describe the blanks a little.
