I'd consider getting an SXJ and use that for your lighter setup and make the SX you have your heavier setup. There is no point in heavy drags... If you're using 40lb braid, 1/3 of that is only 12lbs. Both the fathom and the SX/SXJ are good reels, it all comes down to personal preference. Even the price point is about the same. If you are used to lever drag and comfortable with it then go with the SXJ. If you want to try a star drag then consider the Fathom 12. I'm slowly switching all my reels out to SXJ's, its pretty much all you need for anything we do inshore. The MX is the same drag specs as the SX just more wasted line capacity you dont need and a lot heavier. Plus believe it or not the SX/SXJ has more torque then the MXJ/MXL... trust me.
