If you intend to use it for float fishing rivers you will have a job bettering The Okuma Sheffield, not a true pin (that's all nonsense anyway either it runs free enough or it doesn’t).
I have owned just about every make and model at one time or another, most of the true pins do not run freely enough for me, so I got rid, but the Okuma Sheffield has consistent quality control and spares are interchangeable and available.
Design is not too bad, although in an ideal world I would prefer circular openings (so that I can insert a finger and wind the reel like that) in the spool rather than the tear drop shape which does nothing for the performance.
Colour is a little garish but I think they are now available in black as well.
If you insist on a line guard the Kennet has one but is (I think) bit more money.
The main advantage is in the reels performance, they are very free running and you can trot with the lightest of floats in low flow conditions and the reel will still pay off line with no assistance.
As I said I have owned them all at one time or another, the only other reel I would enthuse about is the Speedia , these can be excellent if you can get a good one, but they are becoming harder to get.
