I have a GRXi 9'6" (6/7w) for my big stillwater fishing and I have to say I'm quite impressed. This is only my first season on the fly but in reasonable conditions I was chucking a line out a fair distance with it and it has a nice forgiving action without being sloppy. It has some good backbone as well when playing hard fighting fish.

I'd buy another without doubt.

Depends what your going to use them for. The Streamflex as far as I'm aware is designed more for river fishing and more delicate I think, whereas the GRXi is useful in most conditions depending on length and weight.
Both good rods

I'm a big fan of greys rods, used them for over 10 years now. Beach, spin, Pike & fly. M2 Greyflex which you can pick up for £100 now as they are discontinued are IMO excellent rods. I've 2 of these in 10 ft 6-7# and 9 ft 5-6#. My absolute favourite is the 9 ft 5-6#. If you have £100 to spend snap one of these up while you still can. I only fish stillwater from a bank or float tube but if river fishing is your thing I'm sure the 9 ft 5-6# would be ok.

I've used a Steamflex 10ft 5# for a couple of years and really like it -good with the slightly longer reach for bugging

If you can still get hold of a Greyflex for £100, that would be my choice also. Lovely rod.
