Not much difference in the applications of these two rods, Danny; especially in the Medium casting rods. I would think it's mostly personal preference. My thoughts are that a shorter rod allows for a bit more accuracy in your cast, while the longer rods permit greater casting distance. I actually find more significant differences in these lengths in the Medium-Heavy applications where I like to throw spinnerbaits on a 6'9" MHC, and perhaps a light C-rig on a 7'0" MHC (although either length would work well for both applications).
Hope this helps some!
