Helios WAS good quality. I have a Zero Gravity fly rod about 10 years old, sent in for repair under warranty, and Orvis put on a really cheap tip top guide that wasn’t even close to the quality of the original. This is lame. The Zero Gravity used to be their most expensive fly rod. The reason why I repaired mine was because I wanted Helios quality and a hook keeper - can’t get that any more!
