Sage LL Graphite III

I cast a 5 wt Sage graphite III LL rod yesterday and enjoyed the feel of the rod quite a bit. I'm now looking to build a new 5 wt. rod with a similar feel and have a couple questions: 1. What is the current Sage rod that is equivalent to the LL rod and 2. Sage is a little pricey. Can anyone recommend a blank with a similar action/feel with a more reasonable price tag?

The old VPS lights (which were the LLs before they became the VPS lights) are being discontinued right now. However, I have seen a few of them still floating around. Check the sponsors from the left, specifically their sale or bargain pages. You might be able to find the exact rod you're looking for at a decent discount.
