I just got an SX about a week ago. Mags are a definate because like Reelecstasy said, its fast as hell out of the box. To mag it, I epoxy'd a couple thin washers in there and then the mags will stick to them. I started with 5 3/4"x1/16" mags and am now down to three. Thats the good thing about doing it this way, it's easy to add or subtract the mags as they aren't glued in.

Adjusting the drag isn't bad like Steve K said. You put the reel in freespool, set the strike where you want and then cast. Only has to be done once. Once I cast, I then slide the lever drag up about halfway to strike which gives a starting point to fight the fish. So far, all I've gotten is schoolies so this hasn't been tested by a cow yet. All in all, I like the reel and will use it with different rods for both surf and boat.
