Just an observation that persuaded me toward the SX when I bought one...

Avet uses a standard formula to come up with its ratings, (Based on "1/3" of line class @ strike)

How did they figure 9 x 3 = 25 for the SX, but 9 x 3 = 30 for the MX? It appears that they under-rated the SX by 2# and over-rated the MX by 3#. I don't know, but by formula they are the same class of reel.

So it all came down to capacity. I didn't need more than 400yds of 50# braid for kayak use, so SX was the one.
