You might look at the Shimano TwinPower 8000 - it's about the same price. It's supposed to surpass the Sustain in quality and performance. More line capacity and drag with a High and Power gear model. I tested the drag to 26 pounds and found it to be very smooth. Potential risk: it's a Japanese model.
On my last offshore trip I caught about a dozen BFT and it performed well.
