I'm gonna keep my 1201L at 10 feet I think. The 7000C3 is an awfully big reel and I believe if I leave it at 10, I'll get a nice smoother taper through the guides then at 9'6". I might be wrong but my mind is set up.
Anyways, getting back to the original question. I agree with the fellas that say there are two spools with spinning reels because the spool is easier to change. Frankly, I look at my conventional reel and I have no clue what's inside it. For all I know, there could be a little mouse on a wheel and when I crank with the handle, it drops a piece of cheese in front of it.
I couldn't imagine swapping parts even on my dining room table, neverind trying to swap a spool on a cold october evening using just my petzl.
