You can't go wrong either way--but the Saltiga costs $150 less

New Saltiga's coming out in the US in July of 2011. But Shimano also re-designs Stellas on the average of every 5 years or so. Shimano tends to tweak models much more than Daiwa does.

The key for me was--Saltigas have a manual bail. No flip-over issues. The 10000 and smaller Stella SW models have an automatic bail with an internal trip.

The 10000 and 8000 Stellas, also, are the same reel--only difference is the spool of the 10K holds more line. If you go Stella, I'd go with the 10000.
First post here in months and you stole all my thunder... While I was typing and looking up retrieve speeds...
