Powell Rod Question

[Bassin]

I am getting another Powell Rod and I wanted some feed back on the comparison of The 734 Max and The 734 Inferno. Besides a $50 difference, what are some other differences? I have owned a 734 Max before (Lost it at Naci), love the rod, just wanting to know the differences between it and the 734 Inferno? Thanks!

Anyone have any info (pros/cons) having stainless steel guides and using braid?
