tlap,
Yep. Same here. I ordered the 4500 first. When it came in I was surprised at how small it was - had it sent back. When the Z5000 came in I was surprised at how much bigger it was. I was in a dilemma. Thought the Z5000 was too damn big ( 29oz) until I hung it on the rod and used it. For some reason I can't explain the thing felt right on the first cast and just got better. Now...., don't even notice the weight and I'm not a big guy ( 150 pounds soaking wet and got the hands, arms and wrists of an accountant - meaning: pretty pathetic). And I can throw with that thing for stretches of three plus hours straight - NO problem.
