I have a REVO SX and yes it is worth the money. As for the cheaper versions at Walmart save your money for a good one. It's the same with every company, you buy high end you get something that will last you a long time if you buy budget you will get a product that will do it's job, but will not last as long as the higher end products made by the same company. Think Lincoln vs Taurus.

I've got three Abu-Garcia reels.
A 5000, 5000C and a 6000C. They range in age from 35+ years to near 45 years old. All are all very solid reels. I haven't caught anything off Kodiak, Alaska that I wouldn't tackle with one of them
The 5000 would be a bit light for the 120# halibut, but would eventually have landed him.
Best part about the older Abu-Garcia reels is they can be so easily torn down, cleaned and rebuilt. I wouldn't hesitate to buy an older one for parts or to rebuild.
