Get on the handle, Randall!!

Crank like hell and you'll make up that .7 difference. You'll never know the difference.

The 50's with braid will kill nearly anything you'll run into. Like you said you're on a budget, don't be afraid of a little cabin rash and used reels. As long as the guts are good who cares what the outside looks like. I mean pristine would be ideal but scratched to hell with brand new guts i'd take any day.
