Penn slammer III

[charlie_the_tuna]

so i'm looking at this reel and i'm wondering. do I wait until they come out with the slammer IV or the V or do I go ahead and pull the trigger on the III? chances are, it wont get much use this season but we just came into some dough and don't know when i'll have another $300. just burning a hole in my pocket. I still like Penn, even though they're made in china but I've always used the brand. I've looked at some of the other stuff in the price range and it doesn't look as well built to me. i'm looking at a 4000 or a 5000. what do you guys think??
