It's much more important.
Get an Abel Super Series reel and your search for a steelhead reel will be over for the rest of your life.
Seriously, there are more quality mid price pointed reels on the market than in the past. A new reel that caught my eye is the Ross Vexis. It has a scaled down drag system of the Ross Momentum big game reels. The Galvan Rush is a Galvan Torque that isn't as machined out. The Lamson Guru is $200ish reel with the same drag system as Lamson/Waterworks' $400 reels.
