Default abu reel

Does anybody have any comments on the abu 502(?) cardinal spinning
reel. I know it isn't top knotch in terms of reels. They use the old
cardinal as a marketing ploy and somewhat as a basis of comparison.
At least that was the case at a fishing show. I know of anglers that
almost cried ther eyes out when they took the old cardinal off the
market. I purchased one reel , a new cardinal, and like the stradic it
has a wooden handle piece which is a plus. Further contemplating a
second purchase but would like to gather some comments here beforehand.
I was looking for a rear drag like the old cardinal but they didn't
have one with a rear drag.. The season is early and there is still
about two weeks before there is any fishing activity for yours truly.
Thanks
