Uncle Russ is on a distinguished road
I have laid in a collection for future use (too busy now to do much) of 20K, 8K, 5K, 2.5K, and 1K, all with extra spools. I have only extensively used the 1000 and the 2500 on FW farm ponds for captive-audience bass up to 4 pounds or so and they are dynamite. I fished the little guy with 10 pound Power Pro on Randy's Smith LTD KGS 510L rod with about 4-5 pounds of drag and it was phenomenal. Even though that rod is relatively small, it is intended for very light offshore use, and the little 1000 looked like a flea hanging off of it. But it behaved like a much larger reel. On the other reels, 5K and up, I have only tested drag in the garage, and pulled on various rods with them. But if they fish anything like their tiny little brother, I will be in love with them.
