The new legend elites have torzite guides. I'm starting to like that rod better than my extreme. Both medium fast seven footers. Wow, is that thing light and responsive

The Torzite Guides put the elites a bit higher on my list than the extremes. I don't believe the Torzite was available, or was too new, when they redesigned the Extremes. The Elites have only been available for the last year. I love my Elite, its built on probably one of the best available blanks and utilizes the latest and greatest Fuji guides. Hard to beat that combo.
I have thought about building a custom stick with the same blank and guides but switch out the handle. Its not that I dislike the handle on the factory rod, its just I have some ideas I would like to try in a custom made handle.
