Only reason I own the HS-15 is because I got an amazing deal on the reel. Haven't fished it yet, so can't compare it to power and reliability of the Avet SX. I've put the Avet up against a Saltist(not saltiga) and the toriums, and the Avet was more powerful in my opinion. This spring will be the test as I put the Canyon up against the Avet... then and only then will I maybe see the extra value. (If I don't sell it first, lol)

First of all I work part time at a tackle shop and what I can tell you based on fact is that there is no way the avet or torium is more powerful than the canyon. And the most common reel that comes back broken is the avets. With out question. mostly bearing issues.
