The 555 is one line weight thicker than "normal" lines. For example, a 4
wt 555 is the same diameter as most other people's 5 wts. Which, IMO, is
a real drawback on light outfits.

That's not entirely true. The first 30' is roughly half a line weight
heavier (10GR for a 4wt DT) and .001" thicker, but the body diameter is
the same.
