i have a revo s that is over 2 years old that is primarily fished in salt water. Zero problems. just bought a gen 1 stx off of ebay and it is a good reel so far also. I picked up a new gen 3 stx at academy the other day and it felt like a plastic POS. The gen 1 and 2's are better. I don't feel that they are heavy at all. To me, the revo fits better in the palm of your hand when on a rod than the shimanos do. Just my opinion tho.
