The body/frame is universal, and then the smaller rotor will work with the 20 and 22 spool, with the bigger rotor working with the 25 and 27 spools. So yes, for a price, you can make any reel you want.
Rough is exactly what you described, no fancy box or tool kit. It's the way most people go.
I think the 25 matches the VS200 most closely, with the 27 being more like a VS250. The 27 is a very fast reel retrieving 39" of line per turn. The 25 is a more familiar 35' per turn.

All in all, the ZB27 and VS250 are very comparable. I have only had my ZB for about a month now, but have been happy with the reel so far. Even tangled with a 25 #'er the other night on it.
Weights:
VS250
Total weight with full spool of 50# suffix braid : 22.7 ounces
Weight of spool : 7.5 ounces
Diameter of spool : 2.75"
ZX27RDG
Total weight with full spool of 50# Suffix braid : 23.6 ounces
Weight of spool : 8 ounces
Diameter of spool : 2.75"
Compared to my VS250:

Isn't there a larger reel foot needed when you opt for the large rotor? I seem to think I saw that posted, with pictures somewhere.
