regarding the line lay, out of the box they should be OK, but they are a bit agricultural compared to say a stella or saltiga which were both built by people wearing white coats in a sterile environment.
the worm oscilation shaft in the saragosa is supported on a fairly thin stainless steel tab inside the reel which, if you drop the reel on its head, will bend and cause the oscilation shaft to have upwards of 5mm of play, allowing the spool 5mm of play, which buggers up the already not brilliant line lay.
I had mine rebuilt by a guy in melbourne who did a wonderful job, i got new gears and shims because my wonky oscilation gear rubbed on the main drive gear and wore off some of the black paladin stuff.
