Agree - I've got two 4500's. Liveline feature is great not only for live lining but any time you need to let some more line out in a controlled fashion.
Also the automatic switch from liveline mode to drag is helpful. One of my rods for guests has a shakespear reel with a liveline feature that doesnt do that and it's a pain. More than once - I've had a guest have a strike - and when it comes time to set the hook - they forget to switch to drag and nothing happens!!
