Decisions, decisions - Which Diawa Saltist model?

Hi Folks,

Based on an initial recommendation I received from Yakhopper and some positive reviews, I'm pretty settled on picking-up the Diawa Saltist 30, but am unsure on why I'd want one model over another. From the Diawa website (http://www.daiwa.com/Reel/saltwater.aspx) here are the choices (only highlighting the deltas):

STANDARD SPEED...

Model #: 30T
Gear Ratio: 4.9 : 1
Weight (oz): 22.9
Line Capacity (test / yds): MONO 20/300, 25/240, 30/200 - BRAID 40/600, 50/360
Drag Max: 22.0

ULTRA HIGH SPEED...

Model #: 30H
Gear Ratio: 6.1 : 1
Weight (oz): 17.3
Line Capacity (test / yds): MONO 20/295, 25/230 - BRAID 40/380, 50/280
Drag Max: 15.4

Model #: 30TH
Gear Ratio: 6.4 : 1
Weight (oz): 23.2
Line Capacity (test / yds): same as model 30T above
Drag Max:

If you ever want to head down to SoCal or further south, and you want to use the reel for tuna/yellowtail vertical jigging, then you'll want the high speed version.

I have the 30H.

It's a great reel for rockfish, sturgeon, and Baja inshore species. If you're using braid and using it mainly from the kayak you could probably go with the next model down.

I really like mine.

Is it the Saltiga or Saltist that has mfg defects in the spool? I think it's the more expensive one that had issues. Check some of Alan Tani's posts RE spool issues.
Oops, it was the Saltiga: http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php/topic,7845.0.html
I've heard other people complain of similar issues with that reel, too. But it sure looks sweet!
