I was able to use a VSX 200 for two nights. I did not notice any increase in casting distance or improved performance. To tell you the truth I never had a problem with line lay on the originals I own. The drag knob tightening was a nice touch. I really liked the flat black finish but understand this will change because its too easy to scratch. The reel was notably "looser" on the retrieve which is the way I like it. Most VS's in recent years were very tight until you break them in.
