[black][size 3]LOL ! I like that - A lot of flat (and big cat) anglers are closet Abu owners. [/size][/black]

[black][size 3]I confess, I am one of those too - I have both Penns and Abu Garcias. Although like you, my heavy duty stuff is all Penn - for probably the same reasons that your's are. Yeah, they might not cast like a Shimano or an Abu, but those reels don't perform in the same way as a winch-like Penn either - if I need a winch, I want a winch. Then again, as you mentioned, it helps to compare apples to apples.[/size][/black]
