How fast are the Eptiome Carbon Air fly rod blanks?

I am thinking of an NFC Epitome Carbon Air 9' 5wt blank. How fast action are these blanks? Faster than LMX? I am not wanting super fast. For a more moderate action blank would I be better off with Gamma Alpha? Is the Epitome a major step up from the Gama blanks?

Well, I guess not many have experience with the Epitome fly rods yet, so I pulled the trigger on the big NFC 4th of July sale and got an Epitome Carbon Air 9 ft. 5 wt in the medium-fast version. I will post a review after I make the rod.
