Casting distance has much less to do with the reel than you think, especially when comparing reels of somewhat similar quality. 

True.  Have put the same reel on two different rods using the same lure. Casting distance was nowhere near equal.

I think I have come to a decision!

I will follow Gary's advice (from tackletrap) and get the following combo:

* Reel: Daiwa Zillion SV TW
* Rod: Megabass F5-72XX Diablo Spec-R
* Line: 30 pound test Sufix 832 Braid Lo-Vis Green  (I will attach a Fluro leader if needed)

I think I am getting most what I want from this combo. Robust set up, Distance, good warranty and versatility for the set of applications that I am looking for: (Spinnerbaits, lip less crankbaits, small swimbaits - 3/8 - 1oz).

What ya thinking?

 

My Diablo Spec-R has a 50th Anniversary Zillion on it. I think you will enjoy your new combo.  Congratulations   :D   According to Megabass advertising, that is the most versatile rod in that line.  Unfortunately this has been a very bad year for me being able to get out fishing, so I don't have much time with the rod yet.  A little review from you would be nice once you have spent some time with the combo.
