It's not a SHIMANO so expect negativity.

LOL, you aren't a Shimanno guy anymore. 
It’s always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6

Ull notice it is a lot smoother on the retrieve than any curado or citica. Ull notice that the magnetic brake will come in handy in some situations. Ull notice the spool tension knob clicks. You might notice a weight difference. I can. The only thing i like better on my citicas and curados is the wider spool, about it.

The weight difference sold me on it that's why I didn't get the tournament speed spool instead plus the carbon fiber handle looks sick

I have the TS1SH and I love it. What I love most about it is the size and feel of the reel.

I've sold all my Shimano's except my Calcuttas and I have one Chronarch 50mg left. I will sell the 50mg, just too lazy to post it. I love my Lews TP.

I own the Curado 201e, Revo STX, JM Signature, and the Lew's Tournament Pro. IMHO the Lew's is the best of the four. It casts farther with virtually no backlash, is feather light, and is much more palmable than the others due to its compact size. I think the STX might be a little bit smoother, but I would still take my Lew's over it any day.
