Got a first gen 25, dual roller.
I did weigh it and forget what it weighed, but loaded with line I think it was around 20-21 oz. About 2-3 oz more than they claimed and more than I felt was attributable to the line.
It has been great and I am very glad I bought it (and I hated spinning tackle). Mine gets drenched and I don't ever bother to even rinse it with freshwater.
The line rollers on mine grooved but didn't harm the line. They sent me new ones and said it was not a common problem (but I think Sandman had the same issue about the same time).
Once I got a grain of sand in the drag and it cleared easily. By habit I check my drag every few casts anyways.
Never had a line wrap casting.....but I use 30lb fireline which may be less likely to fluff. I like the dual roller.
You don't want opinions, but I would suggest the 25 for bass. The smaller spool may help you set up your rod with a smaller collector, it probably reduces the chance of a roller wrap, and the slower retrieve is better for night-time plugging.
