Abu 7000?? Confusion

Last October, I looked for some advice regarding regarding a first conventional set up for the canal, etc. The consensus from most of you was to go with the Abu 7000 - find a version marked "made in sweden" (not "assembled in sweden"). Preferably the BG7000CL. Some of you also indicated the Penn 525 Mag was a good choice.

Problem is - there seems to be too many versions of the Abu 7000 out there - HS and HSN, CT, C3, etc. I seem to run into everyone but the CL.

Also - the one I was looking at yesterday was the 7000 "Rocket" which was "made in Sweden".

Can anyone lend some insight into the variations.

Also - when I looked at the 525 on a St. Croix 10-11 foot, it seemed awfully undersized. Am I incorrect in that thinking?

Thanks again to all for your advice.
