Rob,
to be fair the non-descriptive bit was me. He said that steel these days can be as light as ali, it's much stronger and doesn't flex after 10 years or so. Steel hold there value better and they feel more stable. He suggested columus foco, Reynolds 853 or Truetemper platinum OX.
Can anyone tell me the pro's and con's of both please, just short bullet points would suffice. At the end of the day I'll get it from my lbs and try a few, just wanted to put the question out there as a sounding board.
Thanks for all the replies thus far.
