I only have experience of Harrison. I am not a big caster combination of getting on for late 60's. shoulder injury and poor technique.
I fish a big lake at about 110 yards.
I had 4 Vic Gibson built 12.6 TE's and used them for 9 seasons, nice light blank. like the " softer" tip action. I fish on boards with 3ft of water beneath your feet, so fish can give it some at the net. The TE was nice to play fish on.
I changed to factory built 13ft Aviators last year and managed to fish in France for 3 weeks using them. I only had to cast for one week the other two weeks involved wading to spots.
I like the Aviators and felt they gave me same distance for less effort required with the TE's.
I also had to be a little more careful landing fish with the Aviators.
Initially I was going to get Treb lights but was advised the Aviators might be a bit easier to compress. ( I will never know)
My only regret is that I had to sell the TE's for the cash.

I can only comment on harrisons, you wont go wrong with the aviators in 13ft. Very user friendly and forgiving if you dont have perfect timing/technique.

I also have the ER's and in nearly 4 decades carp angling these are the best rods I've owned and I've owned a few

I have had 12 foot er's but switched to 13' aviator plus.
I prefer the Harrison to be honest. I can cast them a bit further too.

Following a casting lesson with Terry Edmund's I use the Aviator 13ft pluses - brilliant rods. Cast very well, play fish well and not so stiff that you will bump fish off at the net. Mine are factory versions.
I cant coment on TE's
