I had a 201SG and sold it. I feel they are overrated and besides that you cannot get them serviced because Shimano does not produce spare parts for discontinued reel series like the old Bantams. When you open one up there is a lot of plastic inside and the sideplate is plastic. I like the old Ambassadeurs because you can still get parts for them and they are all metal. Remember this is just my opinion so don't come unglued.
