I have heard that these BG’s are serious bang for the buck!! I have a smaller one, think it’s a 3000 and am very happ with it, it is exceptionally smooth!

I believe so, found the answers I was looking for.
Thought the reel-critics would jump & give their 2c, but seemingly the new Magsealed has not found many new homes yet.
A bit more pricey, but taking the diffs into consideration its really worth it.

New BG spinning reels are NOT sealed at all.
No O rings.
No mag sealed bearings.
No mag sealed anti-reverse clutch.
Nadda.

http://www.basilmanning.co.za/daiwa-bg-mag-seal-sp-544486.html?cat=2568 It's basically the current Daiwa BG with the sealing of the saltist, but i doesn't get the extra BB's. Priced between the BG and Saltist as well.

We must be ahead of the US and Aussie market then 'cause neither of them offer a BG with Magseal....

Either way they are good reels

Checked out with a US friend in the trade:
     1. A Saltist minus the bronze shielded minibea bearings (crbb) (can't tell if they have the same light rubber seals) 
     2. A USA Saltist Back Bay minus the Machined aluminium main gear.   
     3. A USA BG with mag seal
       
     I can't tell if it has mag seal anywhere else but at the AR clutch.... 
     If it's a BG with nothing more than magseal at one spot....I don't know how much I like it. 
     If it has the marginally effective seals at the handle shaft and spool   shaft.....and is a cheaper  ball bearing equipped Saltist

     The USA market is selling the Black and blue Saltist for about the same price i think give or take
