Need Opinions on a few blanks

Im going to build another fighting rod for king fishing from the pier for myself soon but I have a few questions about some of the blanks. I've built one with a rainshadow rclb70ml (20-40) which has a pretty soft tip and good backbone but Ive seen a few other blanks and didnt know how they would compare to the rainshadow.

One is the Super Seeker SS-CJB65F 15-30 lb live bait, and the other blank is a Seeker jig style CJB65F 15-40.

How soft are the tips on those rods compared to the rainshadows?

On a side note (sort of), Karen @ Bingham has a clearance on blanks you might be interested in ... Seeker JB70 and JB70L. Just thought to mention it when I saw you looking at very similar products.
