Choosing a Surf reel...

I am looking to buy a new spinning reel to be used in the surf... I currently use a Quantum boca pts 50. Its a great reel with a nice drag, but Its at the point where regardless of how well I clean, oil and grease it, it feels rough... I fish mostly boulders, waist deep wading, the occasional dunk. I am looking to spend somewhere in the 140-200$ range, something similar size to the boca 50. Are there any reels that are better sealed? Is the "cabo" better than the boca and worth getting? Also, what is the main advantage you are paying for when it comes to the VS? Or should i just learn to service my existing reel properly... Any feedback from personal experience would help.
