Another advantage of a front drag is, when you buy a new spool, you get
a new drag.

Jack, are you sure? I know sure as hell when you get a spare spool with a
reel purchase, you don't get a spare drag. I don't have access to the parts
diagram and list for any of my reels as I'm typing, but I'm guessing if you
order a spool, you get a spool. To get another drag you'd probably have to
order a drag assembly which is not included with a spool.
