You mean the AVET Raptor? What are you planning for the reels? Single speed or two speed?

Nothing wrong with owning both at all. They both have incredibly strong drag systems (both have dual drag). Both lever drag. The Raptor only comes in two speed (you can get a single speed AVET, but not with he dual drag system). You can get the Accurate in Single speed or two speed.
Can't go wrong with either reel IMO.

Some sizes do offer it. I would say that the AVET is a bit better at casting
