I've only used the Eternity a couple days, but so far so good. It feels skinny for a 9.8, the sheath coating improves handling and brushes off dirt, and the stretch helps with comfortable catches. I would prefer the weight of a 9.5, but for my go to cragging rope I think the 9.8 will last longer. Overall I've very satisfied.
