Like how they would compare considering the sizes of them

I think spool size is comparable.

the graphite sealines are great little reels.  fast reels, big main gears and big drag washers.  dawn from smoothdrag.com has carbontex drag washers for these.  used reels can usually be had for a great price.

I have both. The 20 is half price of SX, with maybe a little less capacity. Squirt some good lube like Corrosion X or whatever in the bearings and they will really sling; I load 15 lb mono with 40lb,  15 ft mono shock leader for surfcasting the 20. Though the SX will sling too, I don't like to baitcast braid especially at night, so to me, balancing mono capacity vs. line strength isn't a gain with SX. It's just overbuilt for 15 - 20lb test IMO. I love the SX for jigging; loaded with 50lb braid and topshot on a Cedros rod. Depends on your application.
