I also like the versitip fly line, but it would probably not spey cast well. The outbound and musky lines seem to have simular profile to the switch line. Im still not sure what the difference is between switch and standard fly lines. Do you also overhead cast the outbound like a regular fly line? Are you traditional or skagit casting it?
Fishman, regarding the line weight charts. If i was to use a standard spey line I would go down one or two line weights for a switch rod correct? I am thinking switch line on a regular fly rod, would I still go down a size? Head weights and length seem to be simular on switch and regular fly lines.
So many choices and so little money.

Yes go down sizes with your single hand rod using switch line
Eg I have 3 rods all 8 weight
Single hand 10' skadgit 325grains
Switch 11' skadgit 475 grains
Spey 12'4 skadgit 525 grains
