Redirect with iRule or HTTP Class profile?

Just wanted to add my recent experience with this in that we recently replaced some legacy iRules doing a redirection with an HTTP Class. This was great until I then wanted to do some other work on HTTP::uri in another rule. I hit a brick wall when I found that the redirect in the HTTPClass is applied after my new iRule was processed compared to the old iRule redirect which did it before the new iRule was executed, via a priority setting. So I've had to revert to using the iRule approach in order to handle a special case redirect before a new global filtering rule processed the request.
