I have the Black Max and it's pretty smooth and haven't had any problems with it.  It's pretty easy to use and the low-profile feels pretty comfortable. Compared to the BCX series, it has more plastic parts, so it's quite a bit lighter, but I assume it will not last as long.  I think it's a pretty good deal for the money.

I've had a positive experience with a silver max, have fished it 30-40 times so far without any issues. I'm not sure that I'd feel comfortable targeting springs with it as it's quite light and, as previously mentioned, primarily plastic. Fair to say it offers good value for the spend.
