I would definitely recommend adding the power handle to that size abu. If it's an older model without the new carbon matrix drag washers then I would also suggest upgrading those. I put a Hatteras Outfitters carbon fiber drag washer kit in my 6500 CL big game and the difference is amazing. The kit comes with three standard carbon fiber washers and an oversized HT-100 washer plus flat lapped stainless steel washers. It's definitely the best abu drag upgrade I've tried. As for magging, I can't speak to that as I've never had a magged reel, nor have I ever upgraded my abus with faster bearings, I find them fast enough already for my casting ability. But check out the Hatteras Outfitters website, they have tons of upgrade stuff for abus and other reels. Hope this helps.
