Rainshadow HS9000 vs Lami LP844?

The specs on these two look very similar. Any comparisons from those who have handled both?

Absolutely NOTHING in common outside of raw materials.

The Lamiglas blank is higher modulus, uses newer multi-modulus material blending designs (similar to the Batson RX8+ designs), and it's much slower/lighter powered.

The Lami is slower? I measured one and it was the fastest blank in my shop.

The Batson HS 9000s I own have a very light tip that stiffen dramatically after the first 18 inches. Much quicker and more powerful than the MHX or Loomis blank with the same designation, or the Lamiglas popping rod. Not near as enjoyable to cast as the other blanks either.
