Actually, there isn't a big difference in price of the Calais and Core. The Calais has some disadvantages, however. It's heavier and wade-fishing with it is a big no-no. It is so finely machined that there is absolutely no tolerance for a grain of sand. I have one that has been "super tuned" and I swear to ya....that thing will free spool for what seems like 5 minutes.
