Luvias 1500 or 2000

[SimonT]

I am looking at buying a Luvias and am unsure whether a 1500 or 2000 is the best size for bream. I have a Stradic 1000 that I usually use but think the spool is too small and inhibits my casting so I was thinking the Luvias would be a good option. From what I have read the 1500 and 2000 have the same body and drag rating with a slightly different spool, with the 1500 being 5g heavier. I have been unable to line them up beside each other and was wondering what the difference is in the spools. Is the 1500 smaller in diameter than the 2000, or just shallower? I was thinking some extra line capacity might make the 2000 slightly more versatile. Any comments would be appreciated.

I run Luvias 1500's and 2004's on all my bream/jewie rods and cannot fault the size of them. I'm not a fan of the 2004's and wouldn't buy any more, the drag makes no sound and the reel just doesn't feel as solid.
The 1500's are awesome little reels and have caught me pleanty of kingfish up to 77cm and jews to 14kg.

From what I've been told, the Luvias 2000 is a 1500 body with a 2500 spool. I know a couple of guys who run 2000's for bream and rave about them.
