Mike,
You may want to hunt around for a nice used Swedish 7000. I have bought a few newer 7000's as gifts for my brother and a cousin,...and the quality is not as good. They work just fine though.
I have the swedish big game CL and 7500 two blue 7500's and about 4 of the older red 7000's. I don't care for the brass side plates on the big game series as they make the reel heavier. I put aluminum side plates on my 7500CL.
