I prefer rods longer than 11' so that relegates me to 2-piece rods. My favorite stick was a 1-piece Arra 1322, no longer own it, but now it's my Purglas(Big Dave, I think you were thinking of Purglas as the other company that makes 1-piece rods longer than 11'). My Purglas however is a 2-piece, wish I could get a 1-piece version of my Purglas but it would be way too much money. Haven't had any problems with the spigot joint or felt any difference between my 1-piece rods and my Purglas.
I think people need to try these higher end 2-piece rods to judge for themselves. The way I look at it, you could just always leave your 2-piece rod together and you wouldn't have to worry about breaking it down
