I've had a saros 2500 for 2 years now and it has always worked beautifully. It comes with 2 spools I have one spooled up with 8 pound braid for flathead and bream, the other is spooled with 6 kg braid for snapper it has caught fish up to 4 kg without a problem. I also recently bought a stradic 2500 and am equally happy with that.
If you want to save some bucks why not buy the 2500 as mentioned before only the spool is different and with the money you save buy a better quality braid if you need some extra line capacity.
