Would probably add more value if you said why you didn't rate them.

The line going behind the spool on my mags was down to me in the end, filled them up too much hence the line would keep coming off and exaggerating the problem.

Still Less myther with a line guard but I did get this issue under control in the end and that's with really thick mono

I had the 12000 xtc aero technium before I purchased the xtb mgs.The xtc even though virtually same reel apart from weight and maybe a couple of ball bearings felt a much better reel.I wish I had not sold the xtc techs

I had the originals Shimano techniums when they were first released and didn't rate them personally

I'm with you on this. I had a set of the XTC's and sold them on thinking I was missing out on the mags being the better reel but in hindsight.....

Bought 3 mgs 10000 xsa in vgc. Lovely reel + feels solid. Many thanks guys.
Another question. Anyone doing folding handles to fit?

The xsa handles are the best out of all of them. Most folding handles are black not sure how that will look on all silver reels
