Kevin...Phil just answered your question with complete accuracy. And either way...these are both very good blanks...the RX-6 is sometimes refered to as a "Value" Blank, in my Humble opinion,only in price...is it a St.Croix SCV??...or a High End Sage??..no...but they are not Junk either...and i'm really, really picky L.O.L!!!. i have built on both, and can tell you you won't be sorry...C

Tom...Don't misunderstand me i Love the MHX Blanks...or i otherwise would not have purchased as many as i have. Given the choice i'd go for the St.Croix...as you said,it's all subjective...but it is based upon on the Water experience...so a slight edge goes to the St.Croix...just my humble opinion... Cheers Tom, nice to talk to you again!!!
