Rio Gold Fly Line good for Steelhead?

Airflo Superflo Power Taper in the same category as these? Or do I want something with a longer rear taper?

Yes, that is a great looking line! Also closer to a true grain weight with a little extra. Not the crazy full line heavier offerings. That is more than enough rear taper to mend on small to medium size rivers and even large ones if you’re smart about location.

A flick mend can do wonders when utilizing compact floating heads on large water. And it’s easier on your arm, just takes a little practice to get it down.

Any experience with Airflo?
 
Just to wrap my head around it, am I giving up anything going with a line with that? I'm assuming it may not be accurate or present flies delicately. But that's not what I'm really going for with steelhead anyways?
