Orvis reels

I am looking to purchase a new reel in the near future for the purpose of steelheading and perhaps a trip or two for the salmon in NY.  The three reels I have in mind at the moment are Orvis LA BG, Orvis VO2, and the Ross Momentum.  I have used the Ross before and it performs flawlessly; the downsides are that it is a bit on the heavy side and the big price tag on it. 
 
Does anyone out there have any experience with the Battenkill LA or the VO2?

    I have a LA and have found it realiable & durable with a smooth drag system

    Go with the orvis la! The drag is great and at a good price.

    Thanks for the input guys, thats what I was hoping to hear.  It looks as if my initial budget may have been higher than I am actually able to spend.  As of now I am leaning towards the LA.  I will let you know when I make my final decision.
