Well I guess the way to compare models is to start with line capacity and construction materials and price. So compare thr Torium vs JX or LX models, or Calcutta vs MXJ or MXL. If you check out AVET severial of there models offer 2 speed reels ie: JX/LX,MXJ/MXL,EX/EXL and on. also there JX/LX models offer ratio's from 4 to 1, 6 to 1 and 8 to 1.

I think these are fair reels to compare. let me knoe what you think.
