A "big buck" reel I never see mentioned is the Shimano Stella. I have spun a couple of these, they seem to run smooth as silk and seem well built. Has anyone had experence with these?

Smooth as silk for sure, but not even half as tolerant of getting wet as the Van Staal is. General consensus is it trails the Saltiga as well.
Potent drag and very capable boat reel though; I know more then a few charter captains that like the larger models for light tackle sharking. Great tuna reel as well.
The differences between the high end reels in this thread is much more a matter of application rather then overall quality.
