Hardy LRH dry fly or Hardy JJH Triumph?

I have been looking into one of these rods as a new all - rounder. I can’t find much information on them, exept that they are both quite fast 6 - weights. Has anyone tried them, and can share their views on them? How would the two actions compare?
Any input is apreciated.

I have never cast a LRH Dry Fly but I have two JJH Triumph rods. One dates from 1932, the first year this model was made. It is a 3 piece rod, best with a #5 line in my opinion. The tip measures about .068".

The second was made in 1958, two piece, and best with a #6 line. The tip of this rod measures .090".

So I have two very different 8'9" Hardy rods marked JJH Triumph. I like them both.
