Fin-Nor reels

Was recently looking (with only a lttle bit of drool) at the Fin-Nor 8500.  A true mother of a reel.

Anyone have experience or comments on these reels, are they as good as they look and feel, and how much would you expect to pay for one new?

Suitable rods?

Any input appreciated please...
