Without having a MGX to try, I wouldn't know. I do have 3 Cores and absolutely love them. They are light and very smooth, but they should be for what they cost.
I really want to try a Steez. I'm thinking that has to be one sweet reel.

I really want to try the MgX when the are readily available. BoomBoom I had a steez and sold it, to me it was a good reel but wasn't worth the price. Many people love them.

I really want a 50mg core but I hate that it doesn't hold much line. I fish with 20lb floro a lot and the core would probably only hold around 55-60 yards.
I hate braid so that isn't an option.

Jason Daiwa has always put out a good product. Just alot of money. I pair the Cores I have with Kistler Z-Bones. Makes for a really light set-up. I really like light-weight reels and for the money, the Quantum Smoke is pretty nice too.

Be a real man and check out a Steeze. Better balance and more refined than the Shimanos.

Funny you mention that because I just picked up a Smoke SL100SPT but I have not had a chance to try it yet. I also need to get a Z-bone soon. When I got my first LTX's 4-5 years ago I was blown away by them but I have yet to buy a z-bone.
