Peen torque, Vs, ZB?

Im going to ask a which is better type question. I have a vs 200 and its great, have a ZB 27 that i friggin love, but twice in the last 2 years it has crapped out on me. Once about 3 miles from my truck, last night at my truck. I used it last week, washed it after and put it away. Last night i was gearing up and i put the handle on it, something wasn't right. The reel is locked up, worked perfect all last week. I had it serviced last year.

Anyone have the new vsX 275? Thinking about getting it to replace the zb27, just about the same size but a couple ounces heavier. The thing i like most about the ZB's is the drag and the smoothness of the reel itself. Are the VSx reels similar to the older ones in respect to not being that smooth, and a little stiff to reel in, or are they smoother?

I like the higher retrieve speed of the ZB, and the size is right for a couple rods that i throw.

I am also considering the penn torque but i have never laid hands on one so have no comparison at all.

Everything is better on the rocks.
