Bluewater Morley have had them for a little while. Well priced and look the goods. Talked to a few of the staff there (who's opinions I value) and they reckon they look like pretty good things. Fairly uncomplicated design with very little to go wrong with them.
You'll find it actually cast better now coz the line layer is alot more even. The spool dimensions is still exactly the same as the old 8500ss. The oscillating system is based on the slammer, providing a slower oscilation and flatter line lay.

Yep, only complaint from me
Yep, only complaint from me is that the spool was not made a bit wider for better casting. A good reel for $200
