Hey Frank... Technically, the 5000 and 6000 reels are the same with different spools but they are a larger reel than the 4000. I have the Stradic 4000 and love the reel. Is it as nice as the Sustain? Nope, is it 175 smackers inferior, Nupe..
Now one thing to consider, Shimano frowns upon anyone "advertising" their reels at a discount or anything other than MSRP (guess the suggested doesn't carry much weight). But if you asked a couple of our sponsors if there just might be a S-B member's discount, hehehe. Ya might be able to save a couple bucks.
(Save more, get 2 Stradics, a 4000 & a 6000 for the price of one sustain)
