The SA reel
only goes up to an 8wt, maybe a 9? Thats why I went a Loop multi, plus I think it was a bit cheaper than the SA.
Mine is a Loop multi 9/12 on my 10wt, $350 or thereabouts if I remember correctly?
If you have a wad more cash, look at a Shilton SL 6 or 7, but I think you are up around $600 - $700 territory. Another option in this price range is Sage 6000 series which are very good reels as well (I have a 4500 series on my 8wt).
Beyond that you are in Abel Super 10 land which checks in around $900 - $1000 or so, but they are the rolls royce of fly reels.

Bluewater in Myaree
Bluewater in Myaree stocks the SA reels, half off retail price when i was in there last week.
The SA are old tech and there are a hap of better reels out there for the money or a touch more.
The galvan Torque series are great value, indestructable, lighter and has way better drag than the SAs,
