It is a stiffer rod, pretty sensitive, fairly light, and has a nice barebone look to it. If you got the money go ahead and get it while you can and they have a shipping special.
Has anyone used those Powell Diesels though? Seemed nice and was the only ML on sale, so I went for it, even though it doesn't have a warranty. Figured I would abuse enough before 30 days, so I could return it to them if it broke.
