oc1 that sounds like a very cool reel (despite being ugly).  As long as the bail closure is smooth and operates flawlessly then the reel can be a pleasure to fish.

The 1000C is the opposite of that, making a huge clunk when the bail closes.  Despite that I had a great time fishing it in the 70s and early 80s.  There were not many ultralight reels in the sporting goods dept in those days and it's a blast catching panfish on an ultralight rig.

I noticed some of the pictures have gone away.

What are the models and sizes in the series?  Towards something like a Mitchell 400 or DAM Quick 440 and up.

I don't know about other sizes but here is my Daiwa SS-1 next to my Garcia-Mitchell 308.

you want the biggies -- correct?  just going by general knowledge -- not, reel-in-hand...  I could be off on inter-brand comparison:

9000C/SS-9/GS-9 is biggest size for that platform -- I believe it would roughly equate to DAM 275, 550, 5000/01

next size down is 7000C/SS-7/GS-7 -- 440, 4000/01 ballpark

the huge & tiny sizes are most in-demand; middle sizes can be found pretty cheap
