The Seagate 35H is a nice, cost-effective reel. Its quality is between a Sealine and Saltist.
The 35 is probably my favorite size in the daiwa line for Inshore and mellow offshore as you get the increased line capacity and boosted drag, with a little less weight than the bigger models.
Its hard to compare against Avets, not really apples to apples, again due to the construction, star vs lever drag, etc. But its got about the same line capacity as the SX, but the drag is greater at close to ~19 lbs, more like a JX/LX. And the Seagate is gunna weigh and feel more like a JX, than the smaller SX model.
Again a functional reel and looks like a fair price.
