Reel advice needed

Hi All, I am looking to progress onto multi's for the first time and need your thoughts on this reel. It's an Abu Ambassadeur 6500 C3 CT Power Handle Reel which is advertised for £60 brand new. Is it a decent reel for a novice to get used to?

Any advice will be most welcome.

Thanks
Gordon

Well my new abu 6500c3 ct is winging it's way back to the supplier as the drive shaft threads have stripped!!! I've only used the reel 3 times and it has never been dismantled from purchasing it, am I just unlucky or what? So for the moment until the replacement is sent I am back on the coffee grinder
