The reels are likely the Shimano Power Aero Albrid CI4 (or C14?) and the Shimano Bulls Eye 9120xt.

I think both are JDM reels (which means issues getting them fixed). Both are much lighter than the Emblem pro. The Bulls eye runs about 19 oz, the CI4 more like 15-16 oz, but the CI4 is a medium reel, line capacity is less but adequate in the "thick line" version, and it uses a carbon fiber frame that scares some people. It does 12 kg (@25lbs) of drag and runs in the $275 range. The Bulls eye looks like it would be a premier canal reel but at a premier price, 20kg (@40lbs) of drag, many spool size options, and about 450-500 bucks.

Two cool reels and very tempting.
