Unless you're competitive distance casting, I feel that the difference in distance between levelwind vs. non-levelwind is negligible. Not something that most would consider a detriment for most fishing applications. I find laying the line on a non-levelwind reel second nature, but when plugging, sometimes it's nice to have that levelwind feature.
The one downside that I can cite with levelwind reels, is that little bit of extra maintenance required to keep the mechanisms functioning properly (mostly pawls wearing out). Any issues with extra maintenance are typically easy to deal with.
