It's a preference thing. They both are very nice and each perform at the top of the food chain. Personally I like the Abels better because I like the way they look better. I also like the neats foot oil instead of the graphite grease that Tibor uses. When in doubt, put a blind fold on and pick. You will be happy with either.
I'll never buy another ABEL reel again!! Orderd a solid color tr2 reel on their site, 6 weeks laters hasnt been sent yet. when i asked when i could expect the reel. i got an unfriendly mail back only stating with: Gold and Platinum = 1 - 2 weeks Artistic Anodize = 3 - 4 weeks Fish Graphic Anodize = 6 - 10 weeks 2 weeks later i got a mail back saying they havent got all the parts yet so it might take another couple of weeks, but i will be be pleased when its finished. Screw that!!
