PowerSurf's are going for 175 right now from Ginrinpeche. On another board guys who fish the ditch have been using them and have reported good results. They do cast like a banshee.
The Japan market reels do have that issue of service looming over them and it is a consideration.
I have a Basia and when the line roller bearing seized I had to get the part from DaiwaUK. . . DaiwaUSA reps couldn't even bring the schematic up on their terminals let alone order/deliver parts. So I made the acquaintance of a very nice lady in Scotland via email then phone with the CC # and had my parts in four days.
