Shimano Stradic 5000fj

I was looking to see if anyone has used the newest version of the Stradic 5000fj in the surf? It seems that Shimano has made this reel alot more compact than the older Stradics that I remember. The 5000 that I held, felt more like a 4000 size reel. My question is... Does anyone have any input on the newer reel's abilities? It seemed very smooth, and well made, and seems to have enough drag for what I plan to throw on it. It's just the size that concerned me. I am going to match it to a GSB 1081l and throw plugs to 2 oz on it. Thanks for any input.
