SLOSH or SLX20SHV

Just keen to hear if anyone thinks it is worth spending the extra 40 odd euro on the newer model as the old one has a great reputation. Am looking for a stronger reel, fast retrieve, that casts very well. Bought the original Penn Mag but dont fancy it too much, ending up putting 30lb line on it for close in heavy work. Want something for about 18lb line, mixed ground or when a bit of winching is required but above all something that casts well.
