difference....
The latter uses stronger materials internally and utilises the black carbon theme with the carbonfibre spool and black anodised handle.
Its the "Hyper" version of a standard exist.
Much like Certate and Certate Hyper Custom.

Depends on what you use it for???
The Certate Hyper is pretty tough as it is. The Exist is much lighter due to it being made from Mg Alloy body.
If its my choice, Id go all out to the Exist Hyper.
OR..... Stella 4000FE (XG) hehe

You do know that's a 20lb
You do know that's a 20lb rod. Personally I think the Certate Hyper is adequate. You're not gonna get much more out of the Exist Hyper, apart it being lighter.
or go a Stella 4000....hehe
