On the subject of Nash Scopex Squid. Is it really different to the original? I know it's different to the variations like the red and the squid livers. But what is different about the straight SS that you can buy now?
Texan bars.

With respect :That's not Technium Black , Jerry.
Its the replacement "Technium line" and is normally described as "dark" or "grey" rather than the clear version.
A good few vendors do advertise it as Technium Black but it is not the same product.
Whether they are trying it on knowing how popular the original was or are just plain lazy or inept with their descriptions is debateable .
Here's an example of how it should be listed

The kevlar specimen came with three top sections 1.25tc, 1.75tc avons and 1.5dci quiver with a selection of tips. The kevlar specialist was a lower tc version with three tips. These were great highly sought after rods very different to the cheaper twin top kevlars that came out after.

Those barbel kevlar are still a very good rod, better than the standard carbon ones of that era. The ones I said about were expensive at the time and shimano also did Technium mgs 2500 and 4000 reels which are now very rare and sought after.
