I have two 70's that I use for pitching/punching and they have done a great job thus far. I have small hands, so they palm a lot better for me than the K's. Only been using them for about a year, so I really can't speak to the durability. Like Ogandrews mentioned, the smaller reel handle is a minus for me. Line capacity has never been an issue though and I even run a bit of mono backing on both these reels.
