The two reels have different gear ratios and are meant for different purposes. A better comparison to the Stella 20000 is the Saltiga Expedition 6500 - both of which are around the 4:1 gear ratio. The Saltiga Dogfight is the high speed version of the Expedition and better compared to the Stella 10000 both of which are approximately 6:1 ratio.
For jigging the slower 4:1 gearing is best while for popper fishing 6:1 seems to be the most preferred.
Both brands are top of the line and it comes down to personal preference. They both have their pros and cons. I’ve owned all of the above at one time or another and I have a slight leaning towards Saltiga. In NZ the Stella is better value for money though.
of2fsh is offering a cheap stella 20000 (see the thread in the forum) near new only used once, i'd check that out and grab a bargain before it disappears...
