i have both the tatula 100 and the tatula type r as well as a lews speed spool tournament mg i am a huge diawa fan but i can say that i prefer the lews for long casting applications it is currently on my cranking stick because of that as well as the deep spool. the TWS on the tatula series is great i love it i use it for jigs, flipping, big worms, swimbaits, and my zillion tws for chatterbaits. overall i think comfort is going to be the main thing the lews fit in a smaller hand better my hands are a little larger so i dont have an issue with the tatula but it can be a lot to palm and hold
