IMO, large-arbor reels acquired with the large arbor being the primary
characteristic sought are for those who know exactly why they _want_
them. There's nothing wrong with getting a reel that one likes that
happens to be a large-arbor, but that doesn't mean that one can "defend"
having it from a practical standpoint on the basis of it being a
large-arbor reel. For most FFers, and a great deal of FFing, the arbor
size is simply not material.

Actually, I've always thought of large arbor reels as a means of getting
people who already have perfectly functionable reels to buy more reels in a
saturated market.

This feeling was reinforced when I started seeing mid arbor reels.
