Isambard:
Generally, I agree that using braid line allows you to scale down in reel size. (the reason being that you don't need the larger reels (with larger spools to hold monofilament line).
the next issue becomes matching your reel and rod to the type of fishing you expect to do (e.g. lures for albacore, bass and bluefish or fishing bait for blackfish ?).
If you can provide that information, I think you will receive more helpful inputs.
