I'll try again today when there is an adult present.

I certainly wouldn't say either is better than the other Dale, but the delivery times will definitely be faster ;D lo
Getting any fishing package delivered is exciting.

They have arrived and the tube was in great shape, the rods inside were very well protected.
I got them unwrapped and my first impressions are that a lot of care and attention went into the builds.
I'll be posting some photos over the weekend and will be getting them wet next weekend with a bit of luck.
