I'm looking for a medium light spinning setup. These two reels have just been released and both look like top contenders in the $150 market. I know of the features that both offer and its design philosophy (Real Four and SR) but have not used anything of that high caliber.
If given the choice to make a purchase between the two, which one would you choose? And what feature do you find most interesting about the reel?
I will probably pair it up with a Crucial CRS-D68ML 6'8" Down Shotting ML Fast 4-8lb 1/16 - 1/4oz rod to serve as a White Bass/Big Crappie setup.

should be sol vs stradic i can find them priced similar online
i havent held a TDA in hand yet but i can tell the difference between a tierra and a sol in hand
a TDA ways more than a sol and tierra i think its a middle ground reel that really has no advantage no marketing point. you get the same features in a tierra for less $$ why not pay a few dollars i think ive seen SOLs for 160 shipped new over a TDA at about 150
plus the TDA looks like a excellor with a red stripe
cant comment on the new FIs havent had a chance to see it in hand yet should be a nice reel tho

I have the 2500 FI Stradic, and it is simply the finest spinning reel I have ever owned. The only comperable reels to compare it with that I have owned is the Capricorn and the Exceler. Here is my comparative analysis:
FI: superior line management, and a little smoother than the Cap and Ex.
The Cap and Excel do have better drags (although I find the Stradic to be sufficient).
Unless you are battling hard charging fish that require a superior drag, I would go with the unmatched line management of the Stradic. Good luck with your choice.

Between your choices, the Stradic FI would be my pick.
