Anyone tried the Stainless Drag Washers for the ABU's?

[bud8fan]

I am gonna do a drag upgrade to my 6500's over the winter and while looking at a well known site for Reel Candy I noticed that they now have a stamped stainless steel setup and they are guaranteed to be flat! Now thats a change!!

Any info? I know that the stock drag has a hard time slowing down an 8lb bluefish at times so whats everyones opinion?

Smoothies?
Extreme Smoothies?
Ht-100?
Or the new stainless kit?

Also whats everyones take on the Ceramic bearings?
Is it true that they tend to hold lubrication longer than the stainless ABEC7's?
