I am jumping on the Kistler band wagon. I had a Mark Tyler series and I loved it. It was just as light as my Loomis and had a great feel and finish. Kistler also replaced the rod with no questions asked when I broke it all I had to pay was for shiping. It was a sad for me when I donated it to the river gods. The only comment I have is that they are rated a little hevier than they actually are. my medium action felt more like a medium /light.

I have never owned any Rogue rods but I have looked at them in shops they seem to be well biult and would problbly be a quality rod. I had a great expierence with my Kistler and I will be buying one again in the future.
