So I won some money in a Super Bowl pool and decided to spend my winnings on a new rod; namely a Shimano Expride 7'2"MH. I ordered it, but the tentative delivery date on my order is May 10. I happened to find a used Loomis IMX MBR 844 for sale at a local shop and it appears to be in good shape (not sure how old it is), and I can pick it up for $175. Which is the better deal - get the used Loomis, or wait for the new Expride?
