I have a 7500 black BG and 7000 black BG and love the reels but would like a smaller spool / frame on the 7000.

With all of the mods, what is the difference between the 7000 HSN and the black 7000 BG?

Last time I was in the shop (early 2005) Mike showed me some of the gearing issues with the gold BGs, have these issues been resolved? The reason why I am asking is because a buddy of mine just received one from santa and I told Santa to visit M&Ds but the shop was closed when Santa was shopping. I told my buddy to return the reel to the shop Santa bought it from and visit Mike cause he was upfront about the known issues and could add some mods to protect the reel from blowing up while fishing.
