I have a 1205 and I BABY it! Never set it down on rocks or using it to push off the bottom wetsuiting - I have this feeling its gonna break if it gets a scratch in it from all I've heard.

I think the GSBs are a much more durable blank but you mentioned the action is too slow for your liking in the past. Maybe talk to a good rod builder and have them cut the blank a bit and add some length to the butt section to match the 1205 action? A friend of mine had this done, and its very similar action to the 1205, and cost about half as much for the blank! 1201ls and 1201ms are a good one to use for that.
