    If you are truely trying to stay under $150 and you want new I would go with a Ross Cimarron. It is like the modern day Gunnison.

    You can get a Lamson Velocity for less than $150 at Madison River Fishing Company.  They also have the Lamson Radius even cheaper.  I would go with either on of these before I would go with the Konic.  I’m sure these are the older models (pre Hardi Lox), but very good reels for the price.  Read the Velocity discription closely, it appears they are mismached colors.  I have a Lightspeed and a Radius.  The Radius is not a large arbor reel, but it is wide and has good backing capacity.
