If you're going to buy the 2500 you might asw ell get the 3000. They cost and weight the same but the 3000 has a more comfortable (to me) handle and more line capacity.

I've had 2 Stradic 3000s for a couple of months. They are great reels if they hold up like most Shimano stuff. :smt038

I've been abusing a Stradic 4000 for several years now, still holding up fine. I love it. I would assume the lighter models are just as high quality.

both Shimano and Quantum are great, I'm a bit biased, however. go with the Cabo 30 or 40

I have 3 Stradics 3000's and a Cabo 20 & 40 and prefer the Stradics over Cabo's. Stradics are lighter and cheaper, everything else is equal in my opinion.
