NE Fly and wrench

As I have posted before I like using KMMax with the wrench. However I can't use it for the comp. Wouldn't mind getting used to a rope that is allowed. I didn't care for tacyon with the wrench and wasn't impressed with rocket as it felt too grabby and wasn't slick enough with a hitch.
Anyone using Fly that could give me some feedback?
 
I wouldn't call it bouncy. I am pretty much always srt unless there is a crane present. So Fly is my go-to rope for tall removals. Tall pruning jobs I switch to my Sterling snakebite, which is absolutely not bouncy.

I don't care for Tachyon, which I did consider bouncy, but that was pre-wrench for me. Maybe I would like it now - probably time to give it a shot again.

(yet another) Good thing about this wrench is that I can probably take out those old 100' pieces of rope I have for spar-pole rigging. My poor tachyon 200' wasn't very old when I had to cut it in two. Ouch!

Haven't tried it yet, but I would think it'd be quite bouncy.

Have you considered Vortex at all?

I havent. One think that makes the fly appealing is that it is 7/16. That is as big in diameter as I like when I climb. I have tried bigger ropes but with the wrench I found them slower.
 
Fly isn't bad at all. I'm most often running 13mm KMIII, but I have an 80' hank of Fly with a ring spliced onto one end which allows for a quick choke setup if you can isolate with the throwline. The shorter length used in isolation doesn't seem to be overly bouncy.
