Yea, I broke a new Orvis rod casting it: the base of the blank in the cork. Very weird feeling. However, Orvis has arguably the best warranty service in the business.
That said, two thoughts: one, Clearwaters are a great value, but two, getting rid of two 5 weights for one 4 weight could be a problem if you're not familiar with 4 weights and if you're a versatile fisherman. I've sold stuff before to make room for new things and have definitely regretted it. If you came up with a 5 weight, you will max out the 4 weight. This is of course dependent on where you're fishing, though. If you're on medium-small water and you don't fish streamers or heavy nymphs when the water is up you will be ok. However, if you're going to bigger water, even casting a March Brown dry 40 ft with some wind will be increasingly difficult when compared to the 5.
5s are strange and undervalued, even as the 905 is arguably the most popular model around. They can be bulky on small rivers and too light at times on big rivers, but they manage to do it all and more often than not wind up being just right.
Point is, be sure of your decision. If I were you I would maybe sell one and then save what you need for the 4. I have no idea what your schedule is like, but if you go to Craigslist and to the "gigs" section you can find random quick jobs, mostly moving jobs, that will generate some extra cash for you. Always worked for me, and gave me a few funny stories along the way, too..... like the time I dropped a couch down a flight of stairs and pinned a man against a wall. I swear I told everyone involved that I was tapped out!
