Very interesting to see Shimano is bringing out a new model of the Stella. The X-Shield is the best thing i can see about the new model and Daiwa can take a leaf out of the Shimano book because some of the new Saltiga's have started to pitt (pitt equals corrosion spots) on the reels body. I hear the X-Shield is a form of corrosion resistance. And as for the spools i see it as a way to stop all the corrosion of the bearings that comes with using the after market spools such as the yumeya 12k, 20k max spool and the SOM 16k spools. As it is of my opinion that the after market spools have so many holes drilled into them for weight loss that it makes your reels body susceptible to saltwater enhancing bearing corrosion. And the price well it looks like Shimano will do the same as Daiwa did and that's jack the price up for a new product.

Note: there are certain things I can and cannot say. But what I will say is that some of those specs already published by some people are not correct.
A lot of people are jumping to some interesting conclusions - wait until the specs are officially published!
Ross Smith:
Sure looks like Saltigas Dogfights (6500 & 7000H), a big improvement it looks brilliant, it will be interesting to compare prices between new Saltigas and these new Stellas.
Cheers Ross.
