Ever used this reel???

So we stopped into bass pro yesterday and my plan was to snatch up this reel. They actually have a pretty big selection of lower priced flippin’ rods so I was gonna slap together a nice little fluke setup for under a bean.
I picked up the reel from the display and futz’d around with it and for the price, it seemed like an ok little reel. Reminded me of the old penn 940. One of the best little fluke reels ever. Why they stopped making them, I’ll never know. So we spent some time and I scrutinized maybe a dozen rods, all under $50 bucks and all nice little rods.
I picked up a spool of store brand mono, yellow 10 lb test. 1,200 yards for like $12 bucks.
Time comes to grab the reel and BOOM!!! Not in stock.
Apparently, they sell the sh!t out of these reels and they can’t keep them on the shelf.
So now, I have the rod and I have the line. I figured I would order the reel online and still have plenty of time before the season.
So here’s my question….. has anybody ever owned, bought or used this reel? It looks ok. Chinese. Cheap ish. Found a nice little rod for $50 bucks and I’m ready to move on the reel.
I’m wondering if I shouldn’t just grab another penn peerless and be done with it.
As a side note, every Chinese penn I’ve come across has been a piece of sh!t. I’m sending my boy’s conquest back for the second time. I don’t think he has 3 hours on it.
So for $50 bucks, would you grab this little reel and cross your fingers?
The penn is $10 bucks more.
