How important is having consistent equipment?

i guess im as wierd as rick clunn,but i believe it aint what the rod cost,it is the feel the guy thats holding it has with that rod.if you have a good feel with a berkley cherrywood rod then thats a good rod for you,why not have all the same berkley so you kinda have the same feel as the other rods.i have got used to the extreme bps rods and i have a feel for em,and to prove it i have a crucial rod 6-6 med heavy and it is always beside a extreme 6-6med hvy in the rod locker and i always grab the extreme,i also have a pro qualifier 7 ft med hvy and it is supposed to be a little better rod than the extreme but again i always grab the 7 ft extreme.i just like the feel.im not rich and i am kinda a tite wad,but if i thought i could catch more fish with carrot sticks i would go buy 6 this weekend,but i dont feel the rods are hindering me,my ability mite be but not my rods.i hope im not way out in left field with my assetment.
