If you're looking for a plugging reel the Stradic8000 is the the way to go if $200 is your limit.
The Saragossa is nothing like a Stradic internally. Much less complex, fewer moving parts, easier to service yourself and less to go wrong.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
