Not sure this will help you Marc but I have the 8000D... I had the earlier Shimano Bait Runners 3500 and 4500 reels and they were troublesome. Sticky bails, bad anti reverse gears. Took them in for servicing a few times but the problems persisted so I got sour on them.

Wife bought me the 8000d as a surprise present and it is vastly improved over the older bait runners. I really like the new design. They are beefed up, more bearings and the 8000d has a maintainence port on it so you don't have to take the side plate totally off to lube inside.

Had it for 2 years now and as far as spinners, it's my go to.
