You see,,,, we actually do agree in a manner of speaking....
That $200 Reddington or TFO is going to fish just as well for 90% of the anglers becuz that is more than enough rod for the skills of the average caster.
FWIW,,,if you outfish me (with a $200 TFO pro rod in my hands) with your $1000 sage, I can pretty much guarantee you you will still outfish me if we switch rods!
And I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss saltwater fly anglers,,, the guys who are successful at it are all 10%'ers. These guys cast and fish in an environment far more demanding and challenging on a daily basis than freshwater fly anglers have to experience. When it comes to casting and fly rod performance, the saltwater guys can walk the walk!!!
