Doesn't IP series have finer gears than J-Dream series?

I do want to try wx8, not the upgrade though... best place to get some? whats wrong with the upgrade?

Got my C2000HGS today. The reel is freaken light at 155g, so you might think its just a cheap toy, but one turn of the handle will blow your mind. It is Stella smooth with X-Ship and Micromodule Gears, ultra rigid construction, but it doesn't have Stella level where it feels like it wants to keep go...
