Have a look at Chiltern Custom Rods.
Stuart does some lovely 10 footers, based on his own blank.
His work is second to none, plus he’s a pleasure to deal with.

No experience of the exact rods you mention.

But I've a set of Century C2 MK2s in 10ft (3.5lb) and I've been more than happy with them. Paired with some 5500 size reels, they are a joy.
