Shimano Stradic 2500

[ECIRandy]

I've been a Shimano guy (primarily the Stradic's for my spinning rods) for many years (all the way back to the FG Model with the wooden handle). For Christmas I got a couple hundred bucks to spend on a new reel. I was planning on getting another Stradic or a Stradic Ci4 but what else would you recommend in that same price range for a 2500 size spinning reel?
