If you look at the innards then there are very few (and arguably insignificant differences). The two links below show the schematics of your green and the premium.

I have both the green and orange reels and find both great to use with no difference in performance.

Appreciate the second is not the orange model but pretty sure the innards are the same. Will await a variation of this answer now :)

It may be orange but there is definitely a hint of yellow in the manufacture.:whistling

I thought the gun grey premier was 5.3:1 ratio, and had the cheaper alloy cage sides.?
The grey is the High Speed and is the naff newer reel.

You want the Florida sunset orange side plate one, as per pictures above.

1129943 CLASSIC 6500 C3 CT MAG HI SPEED 2+1 200 / 0,40 - 6.3:1 - 465 Carbon Matrix
1130033 CLASSIC 6500 C3 CT MAG 2+1 200 / 0,40 - 5.3:1 - 465 Carbon Matrix
1130038 CLASSIC 6500 C3 CT PREMIUM MAG 2+1 200 / 0,40 - 5.3:1 - 360 Carbon Matrix

The green & older premium/florida/orange call it what you will are exactly the same apart from the handle & colour..

The new premium has the grey side plates, gold anodised frame & the same 5.3-1 gears as all the other ct mag reels apart from the red high speed which has the 6.3-1 gearing.
