the Spheros is the better deal.
It was a toss-up when the Stradic was $150 because they gave you an equal quality spare spool.

Both reels have the same aluminum gears, and IMO neither will hold up to really hard use (eg, Canal jigging with 4-5 oz or extreme submersion). The two big improvements in the Stradic are the better handle and the way it now screws into the main gear, instead of passing through and being secured by a cheap plastic nut on the opposite side plate.

Are those things worth an extra $50 now? Up to the buyer to decide
