Unhappy Heart broken

So went up fishing this morning, everything was good,the weather was beutiful, and there was a nice wee breeze so I got out the car sat my 2 piece rod against the car then when I shut the door of my car my rod sliped and the door went straight through it and broke my rod from a 2 piece rod to a 4 piece rod. so anyway I have now began the hunt for a new rod. I'm looking for a 7 or 8 weight 9,6 rod that brakes down into 3 or 4 pieces. I would like it to come with a solid case. My budget is £150. Any advice on what rod to get would be much apriciated.

I look at it a different way thses days. With the internet i find you can look around and shortlist a few rods you want. They don't have to be under budget but not ridiculous. Then look around and see where you can get it for £150.

So far I like the look of the greys GS2, does any1 have this rod and if so what are their thoughts on it. I also like the look of the spring creek fly rod and might buy it as a spare rod.

the spring creek rods are brilliant for the money. as are the greys rods, i have the g-series and it's decent, the gs2 is probably better.
