There isn’t really much need for the straight rod setup these days. With even budget rods being stiff enough to take quite a lot of weight you can achieve the balance without the extra rods.
I guess the modern equivalent is the Jacob Wukie type setup - if your adventurous. But for most folks a decent slab on weight on the long rod balance by a decent weight on the back will do the job.
I did shoot straight rods way-way (and a few more ways) back. Similarly to why I strip the vbar off nowadays from time to time. Vbars can cover up some very ugly stuff in your pressure points. At the time I was trying to work out what the hell to do with a medium/high KG1 grip having moved from a low cheapo Wha Gok grip.
