No, and I've done the land field testing to prove it. On average, the EP throws about 8 yards farther than a Saltiga 6000. Lots of casts using the same line and lure, same rod (XRA 1322 custom), calm day, averaged out, throw out the longest and shortest. 8 yards. To me, that's not enough to warrant buying a reel that'll last 2-3 seasons of heavy use over one that may well last a lifetime.
You get down to the Canal, throw 3 oz pencils in a SW cross wind, and most every spinning reel is going to cast the same distance.
