Christian, I'm having a bit of trouble understanding your question. You're asking me why you should buy a Stella 10000 over an Accurate 30 and in the next sentence, you're complaining about getting tired?! ??? Is this a serious question?!
Seriously though, apart from the obvious issue with weight, if you need to ask why I am recommending a Stella over an Accurate, you haven't done much research at all.

@ Brandon Khoo: Yes Brandon, i'm looking Stella 10000XG for my SP80M. But i want to know what reason stella better than twinspin?
Yesterday i'm popping with SP80M + SR30L + PE8 + Cubera 150gr. I'm casting nonstop in three hour.
Why i'm very tired? Whether because very heavy weight or because SP80M very stif? Please give me input..

Christian ,
2 days during the last few days of the year is fast , I was told by the courier service they can't promise one day service for Bali shipment , Nias Island is a little more complicated to reach than Bali .
If I am not mistaken , before this SP80M you have DJ83ML , now these 2 Carpenter rods are quite different in action n graphite modulus . DJ series are rods meant for beginners and the way to cast SP series is quite different that the " lobbing " style used for DJ series , my suggestion is you try lighter Cubera . Please note that Cubera 150 + 2 trebles + splitrings can become 175 gr. or more depending on the type of trebles n size of splitrings and this weight is very close to the stated " lure weight " of SP80M which is 190 gr. .
Another advise is to do exercise as Brock advised but my suggestion is you practice casting more often using 100 ~ 125 gr. lures and get used to with the action of SP series .
On another note , SR30 is heavy metal and you may do better with lighter reels and yours is a low geared one too , may have to reel a bit faster to retrieve line after each stroke , this also can contribute to your tiredness after 3 hr. of casting n popping .
Jon .
