I have 2 of those as well that I let others use. Good for the money but once you use a sahara or symetre on up you will never go back. Biggest difference to me is they just feel more solid and the drag system on shimano's are the best IMO.

don't get me wrong... i know the symetre is much better, but $75 better? prob not... then my luck, i would break it somehow and be even more pissed, lol
