Default SA Sharkskin "Steelhead Taper"

Next up for me is fishing the fall steelhead run up on the
Manistee/Pere Marquette/Muskegon. My SA "steelhead taper"
fly line is going on 10 years old and getting a bit beat
to **** so I'm thinking to replace it before I go.

I see where SA has come out with their Sharkskin in a
"steelhead taper". Has anybody tried this line ? Hell,
has anybody ever actually shelled out $100 for a Sharkskin
fly line ?

As an aside, what's so special about Sharkskin that makes it
$40 better than the standard $60 fly line ?
