How do these reels compare?  Thanks and best wishes on the water!

The dream is a limited version of an og zillion. It's just got that specialness about it. Definitely a looker. Probably my favorite appearance wise that I own. Spool options are very limited but the stock spool is great. Not so much on lighter stuff though. It's not meant for that. The SV103 is built on the same frame as the dream but with updated sv spool.  The 103 for $200 is the best reel you can get for that price right now and it'll be brand new. A used dream in good shape will run you about $300. Market has dropped on them in the past 2yrs. You are asking to compare a $300 reel to a $500 reel. The 103 is not a dream but it's no slouch. You have to ask yourself if you wanna spend $300 or $200. Also if you want newer sv spool technology or older 'still good' mag z technology. The 103 can handle a larger range of bait weights than a dream. Plus it can use any Steez/Tdz/T3/IS spool so you have so many options to make it do whatever you want.
