I have both but prefer my lever drag reels. Much easier to control the amount of drag. One thing that can't be matched is when fly lining a large (jumbo) mac that can over power the clicker, even with the line wrapped around the reel frame. You can just have the lever a little out of full free spool and apply enough drag to keep the line from constantly reel out. It allows you to apply enough resistance while still having the ability for the line to play out when a strike happens.
