Stunning discovery Stella SW2008: JDM SW10000XG vs US 10000SW

Got a opportunity to compare Stella 2008 Japanesse DOmestic Model (JDM) Stella SW10000XG vs US/Export version Stella 10000SW. The best part is reel weight and spool weight and its size.
I have not yet test the spool capacity. From Shimano Catalogue, PE5 = 300m.
