Thanks Emo,
For reasons beyond my control It will be Daiwa. ENDO STORY. Not saying there aren't Shimanos I would love equally but this reel is to be from the Daiwa Stable. So after careful deliberation I will be getting the......... MORETHAN 3000 Got a lovely set of rolled eyes from the fiancee last night. Reasons are as follows: I believe in "buy the best you can afford" The Morethan will be a viable reel for applications over and above what i have listed here. The Extra line storage is a bonus When the bank balance recovers I can look at an Exist Hyper Branzino for the matching pair  Thanks so much for all your input. So you know I was orignially going to buy the Steez, but I had to force myself to not think so much like a bream fisho  Again thanks for your input. Will post pics when she is in my hands.

Hey Ross,
Bit late, but my two bobs worth. A Steez 2500 has enough capacity and drag for snapper, cod and jewie(snaggs notwithstanding) and its about one of the lightest out there I think 195gms. and you can always get a 2506 spool for finesse breamin. I dare say you would be breamin more than all the other fishing you mentioned put together might as well steez it! The Branzino at 280Gms would generally be too heavy for breamin and would sit in the pool room looking like it owned the joint.

If tackling bigger fish on a regular basis i'd recommend a reel with hyper digigear. On friday night i hooked up to a rather large fish in the lake with my 2500 steez and after around 20 or so minutes i was busted off.
And now my steez doesnt feel the same, it has a knock in it  So now it will have to be sent off to daiwa for a looksy and service. Chop

Most breamin rods 7 foot and under dont weigh more than 100 grams therefore a branzino or a certate 3000 just doesnt feel right to me. Dissapointing news on both fronts there Chops. Loss of a bigun always hurts. And half the reason for going top end is so the reel can handle a big fish should it jump on. (no shim V daiwa pls). Hopefully it wasnt due to the reel that the fish was loss.

Nah wasnt the reels fault, most likley the bloody rowing lane bouys
 But the fish gave quite a few solid runs and i gave it some curry trying to budge him when i could. I can honestly say these reels arent meant for bigger fish thats why i say the more robust hyper digigear is more suited and will last longer. Chop

This is a debate I am destined to lose since I have the same running conversation with a mate over my choice to use daiwa 2000's where as he uses Shimano 1000's. I figure since most of my fishing is estuary and aimed at bream, flatties or jewie's a 2000 is going handle these without any problems. I could use heavier gear but the lighter stuff is better suited. Besides the lighter gear makes the fish feel bigger. Fishing is about about fun. Which fish keep you coming back? the ones you catch? or the ones you miss? PS I've just bought a couple of shimano 1000's (but don't tell splashy).

Guys... sometimes u have great prices on your ebay, but this prices of morethan and the rest of reels...
 If u have cousin's in Europe, u could buy Morethan for little over 400€ (650 AU$), or u could find Stella FD for 320€ (520 AU$)... That's the situation on Balkan (Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia...), but I doubt that is diferent in the rest of countries.

Ah yes the classic Daiwa Vs Shimano Battle. I think they'll both evenly as good, just shimano got a better ratio, normally smoother drag and doesn't end up turning into a very low quality blue paintjob, but i dont take sides
