Rodgeeks, MHX or NFC lmx fly blank?

looking to build a 6wt and possibly another 8wt for smallmouth bass this winter. looking for a blank that is equivalent to the Eternity2 or better, I have an 8wt Eternity and love it but the cobalt blue will not do this time around. looking for feedback on these blanks from those who have built on them.

They are both fine blanks, however they are not Eternity 2 equivalents. The NFC Classic is a better choice.

If you like the Eternity have you given any thought to having it painted. Backbone custom rods can do nearly any color you want as well as some patterns. Very high quality work.
