MHX L904 vs L905

Will use this to throw anything from 5/8 oz topwater to 1-1/2 oz Rapalas. Which would you pick? Is the 904 heavy enough?

the 904 is at the top end of what the lure weight you say you will use and will work well the 905 is double the lure weight at the top end and you might not get a desirable feel from the lighter baits as the bait would be at the bottom of the scale for a 5/8 lure but will still work just not as much action you would feel you have to consider which bait you will be using the most lighter or the heaver weight lighter bait used most = 904 heaver baits used more = 905 you have to consider the flexibility in the most used bait weight you will be using
Hope this helps.
