One of the biggest factors in favor of the centurys is they seem to be all but unbreakable.I put the same effort into them that went into the CTM that I broke at the Rhody show. I didn't back off in any way and they held up. I've had more than a few Lamis to replace due to casting overloads. Especially the lighter ones.As far as fishing goes well they both fit differently with the styles out there. The Stealth I beleive are made to fit the fishing styles in a wider variety of situations where the other Centurys are made with distance more in mind in how they're built.
As far as doing a test on a rod well both need to be built or taped and balanced the same to get a true reading as thread,guides and epoxy all change a rods action. The more of any makes a huge difference in how they perform.It's like putting a bunch of stiffeners to a rod.
I due like how you did the test though as it is working in the right direction.By the end of this summer several of us need to compare notes that have built and fished a few of both to get a better comparrison.I'm impressed with how the furrels hold. No probs on the 3 I'm fishing so far.The 9 1/2 the 10 stealth and the 11. Ron
