They are very handy but you don't really fall in love with them like some do a centerpin?
I currently own three Power 100's that come with line and are still 55p short of costing me a tenner for all three. Everytime the line finds its way behind the spool and the grease destroys the line so it breaks on the next strike with the loss of your float tackle and a messed up fish. So I just use them for ledgering which is always on a taunt line so cheap as chips fishing. At 150grams they make a nonsense of the idea of balanced tackle. You hold the rod at the reel so the lighter the better. Balance would only mean anything if the reel was away from the pivot point of your hand.
I need a fixed spool which is less than dull... Abu closed face possibly?
