Batson fly blanks..... price check?

Hey guys.
Looking to sort myself out a new short 4 weight for silly string fly action, and set on the 764-4 to match up with my Pflueger Trion 1934. Flicking through the Batson offerings I found the RX6, RX7 and RX8 offerings, all in 4 piece. I thought, "you beauty", then desiring the matte clear finish, shortlisted the RX7 and RX8 models.

RX8 is listed cheaper than the RX7!! Could this be a mistake? I did notice blue highlighting on the RX8 travel fly section.

Ted, that is no mistake the RX8 is the less expensive model. Karen and I would love to help you out. Give us a call. Thanks

Wow. Thanks for clarifying that Scott. The slim ferrule design and multi-modulus construction really sound good on paper, but "rifle fast" might not be the best for a fairly short range rod. Interested to hear if anyone has the numbers (CCS) on this blank.
