Capricorn 2500A drag design?

Hi all.
First time poster here at Tackletour.
I picked up a Capricorn 2500A a couple weeks ago and absolutly love it. Classic Daiwa engineering, but I have a question. Why did they move the drag coil spring from the main shaft to the spool and replace it with the gear/pin and spring system like so many other brands? Thats what I like so much about Daiwa reels is their strong, positive drag. I haven't had any problems with this setup or anything just wondering why they changed? Heck if it works why change?
