Trying to decide which baitcaster to go with. LEWS 2015 Speed Spool LFS SSG1H for $80 or 2014 Speed Spool Tournament TS1H for $100. I'm unable to get my hands on either one of these reels so I am trying to make a decision by specs and feedback.

The new Speed Spool® weighs only 6.9 ounces, mostly due to its new frame platform called LFS, which helps reduce the overall weight of the reel but also increases the distance between the zirconia line guide and the drilled, machine forged and anodized aluminum U spool, which gives anglers extreme distance on the cast.
