i agree, the only VS that i had that was worth a damn was the original although i paid about $150 less for it brand new than the reels sell for now. we had 1 sent back to us in pieces and damaged the casing greatlysaying they couldnt fix it, after having it a full year, i took it back to my service department and had an automtive techincian break the shaft free (it was lock up was the only issue). We then sent it back to VS and they replaced part of the casing and the internal components which was good of them but now the casing is 2 diffrent gold colors and we were just very unimpressed with the customer service.
