AbuGarcia Skeet Reese

Tackle Depot has the Skeet Reese reel for $224 20% off retail price. I need to know if this reel is worth the 220 dollars. How does it compare when throwing lighter baits with the chronarch 51mg, How does it cast 3/8 size baits, will it have enough man power to bring in 10-15 pound striped bass with ease, hows the drag on the reel?? I've recently read some of past post for the skeet and the zillion seems to be the favored reel, but it's another 50+ dollars not including shipping. Any help with this will help me out a lot. I recently sold my chronarch 51mg so I could upgrade to a little bigger reel that could hold a bit more line since I do shore fish. And now I am in need for an upgrade. I loved the 51mg how does the skeet reel compare to it, does the 51mg fish better or the skeet?? Most importantly, will I be wasting my money on this upgrade??
