I m a Penn guy also, but all of mine are ay least 20 years old, so can t comment on the current line up.
If i was in the market for a spinning reel to fish salt water, i think i would go with the Daiwa BG series. I don t own one and never fished with one, but have heard great reviews and read many good things about them.
The thing i like about my old Penn s is that they are simple to tear down and parts are still readily available, usually. The new stuff, not so easy to work on. To me.
Not really an answer to your question, hopefully I didn t muddy the water for u
