Not having a double bearing supported pinion in 2025 is almost insulting in my opinion. I don't want to mention Abu, but i must mention Abu. Have zero experience with anything Lews, but two bearings supporting the pinion gear can only be a positive.
ABU is overpriced's post in Met DC was marked as the answer
The 2020 Met frame is great, but i personally couldn't care less about DC itself. All it does is add weight to the spool because of the magnets. The DC is cool when you first get it, but after some months of use, the cool factor is completely gone and between the first conquest 200dc, conquest 50dc, 2015 met dc, met mg dc, calais dc and the 2017 scorpion dc that i've had, i am not seeing anything close to "dc outcasts everything, and is the best at fishing in the wind".
I would personally get the Zillion just so you understand why its the most popular mid range reel that is even sabotaging the higher end from daiwa and shimano.
