In my opinion, yes, but that's because I like lightweight hi-tech reels that do the job. If you are more of Penn guy that likes simple, almost overbuilt stuff, then no. I'm also a guy that just rinses stuff off lightly with fresh water and wipes it with a rag. If you are the type of guy that rebuilds a reel everytime you go to saltwater, then it's a bad choice. To me the whole point of the mag seal is to decrease maintenance needs.

Also these are probably poor wading surf reels as I don't know anyone that wades a lot that hasn't dunked a reel, and these are recommended by Daiwa to be sent to a service center urgently following a dunk. For wading, I recommend people to get a truly sealed Van Staal for $500, or go cheap on an Okuma Avenger for $45 so you can toss it if needed.
I don't know that I'd call it 'higher quality'. The BG is a tank. It's an old school, just keeps on ticking kind of reel. It is big and heavy though, comparatively; what you'll get in a Saltist BB is more refined and lighter weight in each class compared to the BG.

I have a BG that I have willingly been torturing for years (loaner and guest reel), and it just keeps on going. The Saltist needs more care, but it has a much smoother retrieve and it's lighter.

Nice deal! These are great little reels, just remember the emphasis on little. When in doubt, go for the bigger size.

I've had some epic battles with cocktail sized blues on a very light 7 foot rod and the 3000LT.

These are great reels, but I believe they are Mag-sealed. So if your into maintaining reels, it may present a problem.

I have all BG from the 1500 to 5000. At this price for the saltist, I might bite just to have one. Then again, I'm on the fence.
