Metanium 20 or Bantam MGL?

I love my Bantam, but aside from the JDM PG model, I can't find one reason to choose it over the Metanium. The Metanium is essentially the same reel with a better spool and lighter package.

Bantam has a metal clutch return leg though.

This particular part is a hybrid plastic part in the new Meta, I took a screen shot off somewhere and posted it, everyone's seemed to have accepted it.

I'm fine with that as long as its reliable.

Just got this reel last week. Have to say it's VERY impressive reel as I'm a huge Daiwa fan.
Long casting, solid and quite small when palming. And those brass gears are lovely!
