Reel Question

[i386]

I just bought an Ambassadeur 5000 baitcasting reel at Wal-Mart. They were also selling a combo that had a nice (nice looking anyway) rod and an Ambassadeur "One 5000" reel on it. The reel was black and the finish just didn't seem to be of the same quality as the one I bought, which was red.<br /><br />I check the manufacturer's website first but didn't find what I was looking for. Does anyone know the significance in the "One". Is it a lower end product possibly made in China instead of Sweden. Thanks.
