I have a Battenkill 7/8 and 8/9 that I have been using in saltwater for 10 years and both have held up fine and though scratched up, still function as new. I also have 3/4 for the same length of time that still functions as well as it did when new. These are the cast frame versions, not the Bar Stock. Since Orvis move to an Asian manufacturer, the price on these is now less than $90. Quality appears the same.

The Bar Stock has the same drag but is more solid.

It looks to me like the Orvis Battenkill reels, the regular or the Bar Stock, are roughly equivalent in price to the Fly Logic reels.
