Has anyone tried these?

How do they compare to the Shimano Stella SW or Daiwa Saltiga? These Penns are less than half the price.

Seems like a good deal to get an Authority for just a bit more than a Slammer.

I haven't tried this particular reel, but I've been using a Penn Slammer III, a generation and model below the Authority, since 2019 with zero issues. Embarrassingly, I've let it sit for months at a time in between trips out for stripers in the northeast coast with no upkeep at all besides a spray rinse after each use. Every time I pick it up to use again I expect some sort of wear or something off but it continues to work like the first day I got it. Which is what these reels are famous for, tank workhorse reels that just...work. Since this is a tier above that, I could imagine it's just as good and even better.The Saltiga and Stella seem great too (for $1k they better be) with reviews saying they're more "refined", smoother, with top of the line components. If money was no object, and I knew I'd take care of it like I should, I might consider one. However, I'd personally rather two Authorities, light and heavy, with cash to spare than one Stella.
