blank suggestions. SSU or gsb ?

I'm building a new rod for using in the wetsuit throwing light bucktails, darters, metal lips, eels and topwater @ dawn. So it's got to be able to do a little bit of everything.

I typically use faster action rods with light tips like the light allstar (1085-2 and 1145-2) but 2 piece rods are not a good thing in a wetsuit.

I had been planning on building on a GSB 132 1L and maybe cutting it back from the butt a little bit, but when talking with George the other night I started to wonder if it would be too light. I built a 132 1M a few years ago and it wore me out and the tip was not as sensitive as my all stars.

I was wondering about the super surfs and if anyone has had experience with the SSU 120 1m blank?
