I just looked at the ECS and for the 6/7 at 12'4" where the EDH at 6wt 12'6 and a 7wt 13' I think it will come down to the flex of the rod which one will better. The DEC I know feels good, not noodlie at all and they are made for lighter lines. Like I said, 4wt to 9wt.
I have not felt the ECS. I know in Glass and less expensive rods they will list them by two sizes. Personally I prefer the designated weight to be one or the other.
See if you can shake both, that will tell you. Here is the info on the ECS for anybody interested:
Echo Classic 2-Handed Fly Rods
[ECS] $270.00
Echo fly rods were created for flyfishermen by master caster and rod designer, Tim Rajeff. These rods simply outperform and blow other comparably priced rods out of the water. But don't let the price tag fool you. Every one of these models has a sweet, smooth action that will satisfy the casting demands of most experienced fly fishermen and experts on the stream. These superb rods are only available as 4-piece rods. Every one is great for travel and perfect as either your weapon of choice or a backup. Match it up with any one of our fine quality economy reels and you’ll have one heck of an outfit.
