I concur with you on the having the bend point closer to mid rod to make it easier on back and prolonged fight. I do have a RCLB70XL that I like but that one bends down farther due to lighter action.
In general Rainshadow blanks are underrated. Wish I knew that prior to buying two RCLB70L blanks. I concur that the fulcrum is too high up on the blank for the line ratings, and I also prefer the XL version.
