Fiberstar composites 1266

What is the story on these blanks Fiber Star Composites
Anybody have any experience with them? They seemed to have slipped under my (and most other's) radar. Obviously a smaller company with less marketing presence.

They have 3 versions a 1266, 1266x, and 1266w (all 2 piece) that use different modular graphites.
10' 6" with an action that tries to reduplicate an Allstar 1266 (med fast?....not a rod I am familiar with)
They weigh 6.5 oz, which puts them in the same general range as the CTS rods.

How does it compare to the CTS line. Is it faster than a VT 2-4 but softer than a PJ1006? Is it like a Loomis 1266?
How do the three different versions compare to each other?

I'm looking for something lighter and a bit but not too much faster than a GSB1201M that will throw 1-3 spinning all night without wearing me out, yet still have the stopping power of something more than a GSB1201L , VT 1-3, or Stealth 10 ( more in line with the 1M).
