Super Surf guides?

I'm toying with the possibility of building a SS1201L. Using a VS 200 w/ braid. I was going to use the Fugi Alconite spin guides. BSVAG. I 've been wrapping 10' GSB'S w/5 guides 50, 40, 25, 20, 16, 16 tip. It fishes fine . I may consider trying the concept guide arrangement but all those guides? I would not want to go any smaller than #12 running guides and a #12 or #16 tip. I want to use the blanks characteristics in which it was designed for if it fishes ok with the concept set up. I worry about weed catching the smallish guides and a slim braid shocker knot which occasionally is used.I was wondering if the BSVAG 40 would be ok for the catch guide also since it's a larger spool reel. I have a VS150 w/ a 40 catch guide and braid w/ no problems on a 9'.
