I'm not a big fan of the Penn Internationals either. Level wind pawls wear out WAY too quickly, and the freespool button on the 975 has a nasty habit of popping up at the start of a cast 
I think the 7000 CS Rocket has 2 bearings  |

2 would be a strange number wouldn't it Mike? Seems like it should have 2 spool bearings and an anti reverse bearing (3 total) ?

Have to go with Mike on this one..  the 7000 family has an AR pawl.
I have an older red made in Sweden 7000 and I replaced the bushings with bearings and that is a nice solid reel easier casting than some smaller reels. |

I just picked up a 6500 CS Chrome Rocket and believe it has 3 bearings total...one being anti-reverse...not a pawl.

All 6500 and smaller Abus have been IAR (one way roller bearing) for awhile now. The 7000/7500 reels are still using the pawl anti-reverse.
The third bearing in the 7000/7500 C3 and BG 7000 series reels sits in the drive train, on top of the drag stack. Some of the older two bearing reels, like the 7000C, the SEVEN C, and the 7000C Synchro use two spool bearings, and a metal or plastic bushing, shaped like a top hat, in lieu of the drive train bearing. I think the 7000 CS uses that same two bearing, one bushing arrangement.

I'd like to see the Abu business plan. Hmmmm, let's make 50 base reels with 65,000 variations spread across 200 countries 
Our potential customers will be paralyzed with fear and unable to buy from the competition
