Interesting.Very interesting.
Wonder what the price will be.If its less than the StradicFI but more than the older Spheros and no spare spool it'll be a tough call as to whether its worth it.
I'm sure the no bail feature on 14000 and 18000(minus the upgrade) will jack the price up on those two models.Plus these two gotta be absolute tanks!
After looking at the stats on Shimano's site they've actually lightened up the newer reels over the older ones.
