I have a zbone built on x-ray blank how does it compare in sensitivity to a poisan adrea or nrx?

The X-ray Zbones were amazing, pity Kister decided to/was forced to switch to their own blanks. The X-ray rods are definitely better than a Poison Adrena (but many rods are), on par with a NRX - but different. The X-ray feedback has always felt very raw, unfiltered and bone-chilling to me, other high-end rods feel a bit more like the tip is melting away (relatively speaking, of course). Neither is objectively better, but they feel a bit different. I'll take the old Zbone 733LMH over comparable Loomis models any day (and I like Loomis rods and have a bunch of them).
