With such a competitive
With such a competitive tackle market, it really pays to keep an open mind brand wise. There are so many options available between the sustain and the Stella from other brands that you really are going from one extreme to the other by sticking to shimano. I used to only use shimano, then I woke up and now use everything.

Suggest that (if you havent already) you go and feel both of the reels, and you will soon know where the extra money went on the Stella
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
