I cannot choose between those two reels since I have not used either. In general, today's reels are far superior to the products made just a few years ago. Anything other than some no name brand piece of junk, will most likely do what it is supposed to. If the size, line capacity, and features are what you want, chances are either will do just fine. Hose the reel down at the end of the day and either one should give you years of good service, and I could say this about virtually any of today's reels. So, if it looks good, feels right, and fits the rod you want to use it on to your satisfaction, you made the right choice.
