I have a black 7500--I picked it up from a mail order source Down Under for less than $100 US. I've had it for 2 years, used heavily in current, no problems.
I think most of the Nautil problems are with the 6500 model.
New toy this year---factory XRA 1205 one piece spinner (discontinued factory model) picked up for a song. Goes real nice with the 1205. Pac Bay guides, but for what I paid, when the insert(s) start to fail, I'll rewrap it with Fujis and space them better
