If anyone has used the Samurai, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'm trying to determine if it's that much better than the Powerpro for $15 more per spool.

A couple people I fish with use the Samurai braid. Fell absolutely in love with it after just a few casts and a few fish. It seems thinner than PP, a lot more supple and easier to tie. When it's time to respool, I'm putting Samurai on everything.
As a caution that I found out the hard way... the name Samurai is pretty accurate for what the line will do to your finger if you try tossing 3+oz without something to protect your skin.
