Default Anyone Cast a 10' ?

I was wondering if anyone here owns and cast a 10' 7wt. fly rod?
I've tried a 9'6" and thought that was a bit long. Most of my fly-rods
are under 9'. I was wondering about the casting control of the 10'er.
Heard the extra length was good for mending characteristics.
Comments?

While not a 7wt, I use a 10'6" 3wt as my primary trout
fishing rod. It's great for mending and since it's a very
slow action and 10'6" it's loads of fun once you hook a
fish.
