Tenkarabum does a really good job breaking down the differences.
I currently own three corkless Keiryu rods: Kosasa 150 (4.9ft), Kiyose 24SF (7.4ft), and Kiyotaki 36 (11.5ft). They are all on the stiff side, with more tip flex and a stiff mid-section and butt.
My next rod will likely be something in the 2.9-3.2m range, and i want something softer as well- a 5:5 or 6:4, possibly even a LL (level line) rod with very slow action.
I'm looking at the Nissin Air Stage 290, Suntech Kurenai HM30R, and mostly the Nissin Pro Spec 320. I think the Pro Spec will win out, with the added flexibility of the zoom from 2.7 to 3.2m, and it'll be my first cork grip rod as well.
Here's the fun part- the first two rods are right around $100 on Amazon.jp, and the Pro Spec is like $90. Look how much TenkaraBum asks for them. I'll only be paying $18 for 2-3 day EMS from Japan through Tenso.
Not necessarily a great way to start out, but just showing how much this route can save you.
Personally, of all the "starter kits" mentioned above, I'd either go with the cheapest american company that has a great warranty/service, or I'd get the Nissin kit from TB or Amazon.jp:
