Apart from 6 inches of length..... :)
I own both Robert and use both just about equally.
DJ83MH has more power down low and will handle chuggers nicely to a slightly heavier weight than CV79/40. CV79/40 is softer tipped so is a better stickbait instrument, less useful on chuggers above about 140 gram (although I often stretch mine a touch further than that).
If I have to choose between the two for an all round rod, it would just about be DJ83MH, and if fits your brief being about 8 foot and handling sticks and chuggers around the 150 gram mark nicely.
