Since TW has a few, I was wondering if anyone has any comments on them. How do they compare to the shimano's for example. I understand it's a japan model, is it harder to get fixed or serviced?

I am wondering the same thing. I turned around and googled the bradia and found news ones on eBay for $285 and TW is asking $149.

The Bradia is tempting, but the BaitMonkey just jumped on a Powell rod.  Only enough left in PayPal for an Exceler-I couldn't talk TW into a Tierra for the price of an Exceler   

I bought 5 and man they are sweet.  The smoothest spinning reels I have ever used.  Never used a stella so can't compare to that but they blow away my sustain... I mean the sustain I used to have ;D  I replaced my sols, stadics and my sustain with these.  You won't be disappointed.

I have two of them and love them, the drag is buttery smooth! Worth the 149

So would you guys say it's better than a Shimano saros f, and stradic f1? or just equal too? Really on the fence between those 3.

considering I got rid of a sustain, stradic and sol you can see how I feel about them.  They are in a different league than the stradicc and saros IMO.  If you watch ebay you can get then for as low as $110 to $125.
