I considered the TFO BVK 10 foot 4 weight before I bought the Echo 10 foot three weight yesterday. The fact that my local fly shop had the Echo rod in stock made the decision easy. They didn't have the BVK and didn't know when they would get new stock due to slow shipping at this time. The young fellow at the shop was quite knowledgeable, and had actually fished with the Echo 3 weight. That sold me.
Next time out, I'm going to try over-lining my usual rods - putting my 4 weight reel and line on my 3 weight rod and putting my 5 weight reel and line on my 4 weight rod.
