Stradic ci4 of Stradic fi?

I have narrowed my reel choice down to these two, mainly on feel of the reel and affordability.
I really like the fact that the fi has a spare spool but it doesnt seem to be quite as smooth as the ci4.
Basically what im wanting to know is which reel will be better for saltwater fishing?
I will be cleaning the reels after every use but i just want to know which will last longer when being fished constantly in saltwater?
Any advice would be awesome thanks guys

I have a FI but I would say the CI4 would last longer because I am pretty sure it doesn't have any metal parts, or a very small amount of metal anyway. this means it won't corrode when exposed to salt water

Save some money and purchase the 1000 stradic fi which youngfisherman is selling. The fi is a much stronger reel and will handle the punishment better then the ci4.
