Advantages: Top of the range "bling" rear mech Disadvantages: 9 speed "only", superceeded by RD-7800 10-speed version
...I bought this rear derailleur to replace an Ultegra mech when upgrading my bike from 8 to 9-speeds (well, 16 to 18 speed really with my double front chainset). Apparently, this mech is also compatible with 8-speed systems, you just need to change the cable mounting position.
Dura Ace is the name of Shimano's top of the range group of bicycle components, or "groupset", for road race bikes, and the 9-speed 7700-series was introduced to the public in 1997 after Shimano sponsored riders using Dura-Ace 7700 series equipped bikes in 1996. Year by year, it's been enhanced, and this review is of rear mech from the 2004 model year.

Advantages: Best proven baitrunner on the market, rear drag switch... Disadvantages: Not that I am complaining off. Maybe a free spool would be nice.

This baitrunner had been around for so many years, yet the design has not evolve much. mainly due to it was already perfect as it is. Black, squarish, there are no phisical attraction, but functionality and the power that it hold make it all worth it and I can't think of any better model to replace this baitrunners. Any size is good. I would recommend a 3500 as that is what I use most. 4500 would suit sea fishing and 6500, I don't know why I bought it, maybe because I like this model very much.
Those who has not experience baitrunners may not know what they missed. Other than for spinning session, baitrunners lead all the application as far as my experience goes. It last forever too. I think...
