Rod Help

So I'm looking for a new rod for the Citica that I just got. I plan on it being an all around rod mainly focused on t-rigs though. So I was planning on a 7' MH F rod. I'm looking a four options now. St. Croix Premier and Mojo Bass, both of which I already have, but in different sizes that I really like. Shimano's new rods are set to come out 7/23, so says TackleWarehouse. So I'm looking at the new Compres and they come in 6'8'' and 7'2'' MH what would be better for all around purpose. I was thinking they would both be fine, 6'8'' more accurate, 7'2'' longer casting... not much else in difference. My final option would be one of the G Loomis GL2s that are now on clearance. $50 more than the other three and only available in a 6'6'' MH, so I don't know if it would be worth it. I've handled the old Compres and GL2 and both felt nice. I think I'm gonna throw the Citica on my 6'6'' Lightning rod to see if I think the feel of it on a shorter rod, although it would be nothing like the GL2.

A lot of thoughts going on in my head now. Help me out, what are your thoughts?
