Im currently looking at new reels. Currently own xtd's which have been good. I figure I need to have a play with both before making any decisions.

Has anyone seen the new power aero in the flesh yet?

£240 vs £370 plus if i dont like them I'll sell them and buy the Xtc.
Only point I have so far is that the handle does not fully fold in like the Xtc, otherwise the Xte looks and feels perfect under my new Fs ES.

Why would you buy the XTE when you've been told the XTC is a better reel by most of Facebook

Also bought a set of XTE for a nice price
Anyone replaced the felt washers with Teflon washers? (not an ice/carbon washers fan)

Yes, but to my understanding it's different than the older, true ci4 models that are advertised as such (in title and on the box).

Have talked to many people on Fb in carp groups 90% say the Xtc is the better reel...

Not doubting what you guys are saying (that the XTE is a step up from the XTC), but I really struggle with the question how it can be that a Ci4 model that costs more, is worse than an official non Ci4 model that is way cheaper?
How do you like the line roller and clutch spring (we all like to hear that tiktok like a clock) on the XTE?

They are both made out of ci4,the xte has silent drive,parallel body and rigid cast.I prefer the shape of the newer reels but I don't like the fact the handle on the spod reel does not lock into place when packing away
