Gotta keep in mind, in Batson blanks, the SW series and the SU series were totally different. The SW series resembles the older Sabre blanks. The SU series was designed specifically as a copy of the All Stars, by the same guy who designed them originally.

There isn't much difference between the SW 1208 and 1209. Both are moderate/fast blanks, and they will both handle about 1 to 4 oz. The difference is too slight to determine from a picture, and even from blank measurements. It would take someone very familiar with the rods to tell, even hands-on.

There's a huge difference between the SU 1208 and 1209. The 1208 is a 2-5 blank, and the 1209 is a 3 to ??? (possibly 10+) blank.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
