Step up from the Seido and go with the new model Sahara (FC) or Symetre (FJ). Or, if you have the time, float about for a bit and check the Buy and Sell pages. Reels pop up on here fairly regularly: you may be able to get something like one of the older Stradics. Also worth checking the Bay of Fleas....... should be able to pick something up at a very good price.
Daiwa's newer 1500's are fairly small, but sill bigger than a Shimano 1000. A Luvias 1003 is almost double your budget, and is their cheapest 1000 size reel. Others will chime in here with their recommendations, but for me the big 2 players are worth a first look.

I've never used one but a Daiwa D-Red Back is all the right colours.

You can get the Stradic 1000FI from the link below. I know your budget is $220, they cost $229 here and with postage you will be looking at $20 over your budget for a new Stradic. Be hard to find them at a better price than this.

A new Stradic starts at about $275 at the moment, going on the new prices...so I'd be jumping at $229 plus postage. Otherwise, I would look at a Shimano Saros for about $250 or stick to the Seido for around $170-$190.
They are all very good value for money reels and they all come with a 10 year warranty. I am currently using a Saros, a Seido and a Symetre.
