Eyeing a new spinning reel for my 7'1" MLXF Envee for next season, and I'm kind of suck between a few options.  Torn between an older twin power MG 2500S and a Complex Ci4 of the same size, approximate vintage but with the HG gearing.  I don't want to go any lighter (Rarenium etc) because of where the balance point in the rod is, but I don't have a problem with the extra weight in the twin power simply because it's a twin power.  Also the Soare- is that just another twin power, and is any non-BB (Ci4) version the Japanese/MG internals?  There is just about no information out on those darn reels.     

 

While I doubt I could go wrong with either, any thoughts or input from anyone as I weigh my options?  Kind of torn here, but in the best kind of way.  Main usage will be finesse weightless T-Rigs, tiny jig duty for things like the Ned rigs/ Mono Spins and smaller jerkbaits like the Trick Darter and 110 Jr. and I will be using 4kg Gliss (10# Smackdown if the Gliss doesn't measure up).

 

Thanks in advance for helping in this first world problem.  It's causing me considerable hand wringing.

I wish!  

Have you looked at the Vanquish?

Yes generally too pricey though.  All the reels I'm looking at are several years older.

No question what it would be if it were me.
