I just got the Exist 2004.
I just got the package from Bill today and all I have to say is WOW! This reel looks so much better in person. I won't be able to use it for a while but it is very smooth and very light. I really haven't used any other top of the line spinning reels but by the feel of it and the sheer smoothness of it I can tell it is in a class of its own. Bill, thanks for the wonderful service. Here are some pics:

Re: I just got the Exist 2004.
Sweet , show everyone a pic of the hard case too , I think that is kool. It is like a giant clamshell. I got my 2506 today myself, but have not had time to play with it. What are your first impressions?
My first impressions was it was freakishly light , and seems to be as smooth, as my stella. The bail operation is so much smoother than the stella. That was my biggest complaint about the stella, and the EXIST solved that. Brooklyn Bill really hooked all of us up.

Re: I just got the Exist 2004.
I like the weight. How is the size compared to a Stella 1000? Thanks, may put my Stella down and try one of those. The price seems right.

Thanks guys. I will definitely post an update when I actually use it for fishing. This is my first time paying so much for a high-end spinning reel and I just can't wait to try it.
