Switch blanks for float rod?

Hey fellas, what advantage(s) does building a float rod have using a fast action blank versus a mod-fast blank?

Assuming same line weight rating.

I've been contemplating using the Batson switch blanks to build up as float roads due to multi-piece design for travel.

Previous switch blanks were mod-fast, new blanks are fast.

Also new blanks are 4" longer.

I am assuming that the longer rod and faster action allow for more line control on drift?

Suggestions and input are much appreciated!

Thanks!
