I'd like to answer your question, but I've never used either rod.
If LL Bean or Orvis would offer one up for a product testing session, I'd be more than happy to check it out and get back with you.
Here's another suggestion. Call TMF Fly Shop in Ravenna. They're very helpful with info on fly fishing. Great shop.
BTW, don't let the lack of responses to one VERY detailed question sour you here. Maybe a lot of the membership doesn't fly fish or have experience with those rods.
If you'd like the phone # to TMF, I can get it for you.
