Sorry but I love me 706's A 704 is half the reel IMHO.I know if I use the Van Staal i will fall an break it.It's to expensive i think i will sell it an buy more plugs.
Being able to fall on it, rest it on rocks, and generally beat it up is why people buy a VS. Screw the anodizing, use it like it was intended.
