I don't know anything about the Accurate Reels but have owned 2 VS reels. 200 & 250. I have several problems with both. It seems that some of the guys on the site swear by them. Others have had problems and need service on them. For a $700 reels I think they should hold up better than they do. I went back to Penns. I fish the SS series and never have an issue. It would seem that the big SS 850 and 950 would serve you well. For under $200 each, you can't go wrong. JMO.

No boat, back in the suds.

I would go with the 275 for tuna. The only thing I know about Accurate spinning reels, is that the one guy I know who owned two of them, had major issues with both.

I would look at a 14000 or 18000 Stella SW as an alternative to the VS, not the Accurates.
