You're on the money about the line retrieve. The 10K and 20K are the exact same size with only difference being gear ratio. The spools are interchangable on current 10k and 20K FA and SW series -- sometimes called 2003 models The SWs are the Japanese Domestic market (JDM) versions that come with a 16K spare spool and a few extra goodies not packaged with the US version. The spools on the older F-series (98 model) are not interchange.
The reason the 10K puts out more drag is spool design. It has a casting spool with slightly different lip and larger drag washers on the top of the spool.
