Abu Garcia Venerate versus Quantum Prism spinning rod?

[Jfish]

I hate buying rods without handling them but I need a 6'6" medium spinning rod and both have a full cork handle which I prefer and are ~$100. Venerate is 36 ton graphite, titanium alloy guides with zirconium inserts, and a 3-year warranty. Prism is HSX 70 graphite, stainless steel guides with hard chrome inserts, and a 5-year warranty. Any advice or experiences would be appreciated.

Might not be of much help but I happen to come across a AG Venerate at Scheel's and it is a very, very light rod in hand. I would imagine it would fish very well too.
