3 wt. combo recommendations

I currently own a 5wt. Orvis TLS/Battenkill MidArbor combo and found it to 
be a little heavy during a recent trip to fish the smaller rivers around 
Estes Park.  I think that a 3 wt. will complement the 5wt. for low wind
conditions 
on smaller (but not tiny) streams/rivers.  I was thinking of something in 
the 7' - 8' range.

Looking for opinions on the wt./length choice.  The Sage 3wt. TLX 7'10"
cast 
and felt really good to me, so I am also looking for opinions on reels to 
pair it with.

Thanks,
Jim
