hey man! I'm a bit closer to your age, and am not going to try to convince you to spend "just a little more" (i.e. typically twice as much, or $300) to get something with a lifetime warranty. It's a different world financially when you don't have a full time job...
I've had both the encounter and two of redingtons competing entry level setups, the redington crosswater combo, and the redington path combo.
I found the encounter to feel a lot cheaper, and stiffer, than even the cheaper redington option (the crosswater). If i were you, I'd get the crosswater on amazon or in your local fly shop for $110-$160 (price varies https://www.amazon.com/Sportsman-Supply-Inc-Redington-Crosswater/dp/B000M5W2HC/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=redington+crosswater+combo&qid=1566474530&s=home-garden&sr=8-8 ) or spend a little more and get the path, which does have a nice warranty, and comes in the exact dimensions you want ( https://www.amazon.com/Redington-Fishing-Outfit-Crosswater-9-Foot/dp/B074KMBXHL/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=redington%2Bpath%2Bcombo&qid=1566474588&s=home-garden&sr=8-1&th=1&psc=1 ). Both will likely end up saving you some money over the encounter--and both are just as nice, if not nicer.
​
That said, the encounter is a solid choice, and you really can't go wrong with whatever gets you fishing!
