Hey - I appreciate the feedback as it will better prepare me for my next purchase! (now that I'm fully addicted)

Now - Is the new left handed Shimano baitcasting reels ($350) really worth saving up for, or should I look to Garcia for the Salt? What about Diawa Millionaire's CVZ series?

I may be rehasshing an old issue here, but I don't remember specific discussion about the saltwater series Calcutta (CTE401?) Is it worth the extra $$$?
