i got some info off someone today that they will only be about $100-$200 of the stellas so if its the 8000 stella for $1099, the Tp will be round $899 so yer the stella might be the way to go, or you could just go daiwa!
It's been out where I am for a while now, and personally, for the same price I believe the old Stella FA is a superior product(if you can still find the equivalent model).
I loved the old Twinpower PG/HG series but surely with the new SW range they can no longer qualify themselves as a 'budget high-end reel'.

yeah I'd agree with huggy
yeah I'd agree with huggy about $700 ... for the little ones.
then i'd say up to 900 or maybe even more for the 12000 size.
they can't charge to much more though because then people will just go for the stella.

price.

Going by Shimano's price i'd expect the biggest to retail at the $1000 mark. You would think most people would spend the bit extra for a Stella.
