A reel I loved and wish I could get my hands on again were the ABU black max series, no longer made but can still be found on ebay...They had the cross X pattern of laying the line on the spool that would be great for braid and they casted very sweet! However they were still problematic like all abu's for the most part and needed constant maintainence to keep them in good working order. Even with all the headaches I loved that reel.

I know this has nothing to do with your specifi question, just an abservation...I know there are plenty of 6500s out there being used with braid so go for one of those...But my top choice would be the Cal-400.....
