I did build an XRA 1205 with lowriders, but used regular alconite casting guides for the last 4 guides. All in all the tip is much lighter and responsive, distance gain is neglible at best, and the setup is no better than any other as far as I can determine.

The old style XRA1205 I built was in the hands of a good fisherman last night(fishing right next to me) and I got my butt whipped, even with my fancy new rod and lowriders. I did take a quality dogfish though...not sure it counts due to the fact I foul hooked it.
