I have built about 10 MHX rods. The ones I own are fabulous rods. I built 2 for a friend, he broke one. The cost of replacing the broken piece is quit high, shipping 2 ways really costs.
As for building a nice one, the first is a bit of a challange but as you gain confidence it gets easier and the final product gets better. Mud hole has some great instructional videos.
There is a guy on the west coast that carries MHX blanks and Mud hole stock. I cannot remember the name of the company off the top of my head.
I really like their fly rod blanks.
