Has anyone on this site bought and fished the R8? Is it anything special? How does it compare to the Sage X? What are your thoughts about it?

Doesn't seem that long ago we were joking about a future with $1,000 mass-produced graphite fly rods.I will say their marketing is quite accurate this time, as the $1,050 price tag absolutely is revolutionary.
I just watched that video and I thought it was quite funny. You said it perfectlyYep, it’ll cast your bobber. Throws heavy weights. Mends line. Lands fish. It’s revolutionary!

Just got this in an email.

The big question is...does it have a new revolutionary reel seat with revolutionary adhesive?Maybe Sage will let me trade in my new Sage X (whose reel seat butt section fell off fishing last Monday) for one of these revolutionary new flyrods.
You mean they actually use more than a small glob of adhesive (enough to cover the entire rosewood shaft under the butt cap)?The big question is...does it have a new revolutionary reel seat with revolutionary adhesive?
