I've been really happy with my setup. While 2# is a good bit too "whispy" for me I did recently purchase some 4# FireLine and 4# Trilene I was thinking of using for a very similar setup as yours for bream fishing. I need to purchase the 9' SHSS but I have a MicroSpin reel I will most likely be using.
I only use about a 1'-2' (a foot per lure I use) piece of mono as a leader on my FireLine. Only because FireLine seemed to give way too easy at the knot and it is a lot easier to cinch down a knot with mono. Looking like I'll probably be fishing the same FireLine for the next few years.
