Yes I saw a few on the net for 260-265, but sombody should have it cheaper. I think the 966 is rated for 2oz more and I don't think I need a heaver action. I figure I could actually go with a lighter action for the light 12" generic trout or better feel with swimbaits such as the Opsrey or Optimum. I just figured why get 2 of the same rod? I have a heavy flippin stick that is rated for 2oz but it strains way to much when casting but the Calcutta 820XFA I can launch them and the rod is fine. Was also thinking of a Graftech if I can find one cheap or even a Rainshadow(rob mentioned), but have never heard of rainshadow.
