Default Suggestion for left hand level wind

Looking for suggestion for a level wind reel for Halibut. Having trouble finding a reel that will hold 350 to 400 yards of line for halibut.
I can find Penn Senators but not in a level wind.
Any ideas of names of reels I'm may have missed.
Shamono,Penn,Avet,Big Blue,Burton,etc..........

Update: 03 22 06: Talked to Penn rep at Factory, All left had Penn reels currently available are being discontinued this year. Cannot order a left hand Senator any longer. The Rep said he fields a lot of calls for Left hand reels, but the current economics and sales are not enough to create and carry left had reel any longer.
Other maunufatures will be fowllowing this trend. Darn!
Will keep looking.

Penn 321 gti, & Okuma 30l series are the two biggest I know,
both hold just over 400 yrds of 65# tuff line xp(14lb equal)if you wind on yourself, wet, summerged in a bucket of water, with tension you will load more than any shop can do for you, & over fill til the line almost touches the levelwind will also help.
