blank suggestion

I have a 1083 Arra one piece that I wrapped conventional. For the most part I like this rod for what I use it for (light plugging). On occasion it seems a little light for decent sized fish in moving water. Also, transporting it can be a pain. Looking for something similar, but in 2 piece. Don't really want to put out the $$ for the 2 piece version of the Arra. The batson sur1083F seems to be a similar blank based on the specs. Anyone had any experience with this blank? Other blanks that I should check out?

I'll be wrapping it conventional. 5501 with 14# fireline. Mostly throwing plugs in the 3/4 to 1 1/2 oz range with it, though may also throw lead down to 3/8 oz (mostly above 1/2 oz) on occasion.
