Well what I guess I'm trying to say is I rather have a Ford then a Mercury or Panasonic over Dynex TV, if the Pinnacle out performs the quantum then that's what ill go with. but for close to the same price I would go with the more well known reel. Ive just recently been doing extensive research on reels, So the better question to ask would be is there a big enough difference in the quantum to choose it over the Pinnacle?
