stx 70 better built but less warranty, just pull out the drag stack and lube it with drag grease.

Disagree Nico. Have both, and I particularly like the soron and prefer it to the stradic.Like dicey said better built, all metal body inc sideplates and a wicked drag. 2 spools like the stradic also. I fish 1 spool with 30lb and the other with 20lb and love it.
Cheers

i was leaning more towards the sorrow due to its all metal construction, but cheers for the input.

I've got
a Soron STX60 for about 6months and it's been great. Ebay $120
I have 250m of pe3 Boat Braid on it and have used it jigging for Dhuies, Sambos and Nannys in up to 190m. Hasn't missed a beat and still mechanically perfect. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat if I required another reel in that size.
Not to sure about the 70, it's alot bigger and heavier. I'd say it would still be a great reel though.
