If C is stronger than EE then A must be stronger then both C and the EE
THis says a lot - I thought it was common knowledge that A thread is stronger than EE when wrapped on a guide. Stand alone, EE is stronger, when was the last time the guides were held on by 1 strand of thread.....EE is so thick, maybe it only takes one turn to wrap around the guides?

Advantage of EE is lazyness, and it is more durable when bounced around. It also can be used to tie a boat up to moorings, so it's good to have around.

The VSF is more accurate because it's much easier to find the spine with than rolling the blank on the floor - and it's easier to use because you can find the spine and line up the reel seat at the same time. That marking the blank thing with a pen leaves yourself open to making a slight error if you don't mark the blank perfectly - again, the spine is overrated anyway.
