Anyone on the board have any experience or thoughts with these fly lines?
 
I used the Orvis Pro textured line.
Really liked how it cast.
But it didn't last me very long. By the end of the 2nd season - last year - the last 4-5 feet of it developed lots of cracks.

I probably could have used it another year.
But I found a good deal on another textured line - and replaced it this spring
 
Isn't it just rebranded SA line? SA makes line for Orvis, who then bought SA, something like that? I think*

Orvis Power Pro smooth = SA Mastery MPX
Orvis Power Pro textured = SA Amplitude textured MPX

Again, I think*. The line is the same, as in materials, coatings, textures, etc. I'm not 100% sure about the tapers matching perfectly. Anyway, yes, I have the SA Amplitude MPX and it's the best line I've ever cast. It does tend to lose it's floatability on the tip over time though.
