Thank you for making my point, because it was you, not I, that suggested that the $700 VS was not adequate. This means that your response to the OP that he needed a $1,000 reel instead of the $700 reel he asked about, was erroneous. It seems that we are in agreement - yes?

Without quibbling on the exact dollar amount, again we're mostly in agreement.

That of course was my point all along though maybe I was too subtle at first.

Best regards,
