Never been on a surtees but there's a few 5.5 workmates around your budget and they seem really popular
    I'm not sure why the Stabi's seem so popular because most people I have spoken to think the same thing as you!
    I do like the Mclays , few mates have had them and seem to rate them
    Bay Tyres-Driving the best deal since ages ago

    I've had a couple of Mclay over the years 5-6 M range and then went to Senator I would rate Mclay same as Stabi bone shakers.
    They ride super hard compared to the Senator.

    I've got a small Senator and very impressed with it so far even in big seas.
