Well, it costs $100 more, so it had better be. I think the Sahara would be fine, but if you'd like a Stradic, go for it.

One reason I've migrated to Daiwa is that they're still giving you a spare spool. Shimano stopped doing that a few years ago. If a spare spool is important to you, take a look at some Daiwas.
