I got the new one and have been out casting it but not fishing. I have the pro A 5000 and I've been able to cast at least as far as I can with my 5500. The lip on the new spool should be an improvement. As covered earlier the handle and bail seem to be an improvement. In the end only time and use will show if it is better.
Now, when I purchased it you were getting the new reel for about the same price as the old one. Now if the old model can be purchased for 104 the step up doesn't seem to be as good a deal.
