I went from a 2 year old Quantum Cabo 60 (which performed OK and has a nice drag BUT does not handle braid well) and before that three Shimano Stradics...one dunking and they're GONE ...to a VS 250 this season.
3 HUGE things I noticed w/ the VS:
1) How well it handles Braid. Had maybe one small power pro wind knot since I made the switch!! (And I fish Spooks 70% of the time!)Lays it on perfectly so braid does'nt dig into itself. I don't need to pay constant attention to how braid's getting laid on the spool.
2) Much Improved casting distance. Probably a function of a larger diameter spool AND #1 above
3) My surf gear takes a beating.Dunked numerous times with no change/effect on performance.
I'm glad I got one. Reel is as advertised. And it is a pretty piece of engineering/design. Get the Silver!!!
