Tough 4000 reels for $200 USA dollars

How's it going fellers.
My sister is in San Diego till Monday and I've had her running around for me trying to buy a 2500 and 4000CI4 stradics but not much luck with only purchasing the 2500.
The last 4000 in the local stores was sold a couple days ago.
I'm looking at other options now with about $200 US to spend.
What do you guys think would be a good tough reel.
Daiwa , shimano or any other reel I'm not to fussed.
Thanks.

daiwa advantage 4000 mate.
Ive had mine for a fair while, its relatively cheap, very durable, and still performs the same as it did from day 1. Absolutely lovely reel, definitely recommend it!

It's funny you mentioned the 2 reels I was thinking.
Have you bloke's caught good size fish on your reels.

I have a 4000 twinpower,is it worth going for the stradic FI or are they to close.

Ive had sessions of 20-30 sambos between 1-4kg, with the bigger ones being dropped due to hooks pulled. The reel was completely fine and owned them. The reel will not let you down mate in my opinion ( talking only about the advantage). I think they are brilliant

Thanks G Factor.
I ended up with a 4000 stradic fi but I may still buy a 3000 advantge in a month or two when my mate comes over to visit from the states.
