Default Calcutta 250 vs. Okuma Induron 250, which one to buy?

I'm trying to decide between these 2 reels. On paper, the okuma looks
far superior and at a fraction of the cost.

Specs:

berings
calcutta - 2+1
induron - 7+1

retreive
calcutta - 5.0:1
induron - 5.1:1

weight
calcutta - 10oz
induron - ???

drag
calcutta - dartanium, looks like 2 disk from service diagram
induron - six-disk Rulidium and stainless steel

line capacity
calcutta - 8/230 10/210 14/120
induron - 8/300 10/260 15/150

construction
calcutta - forged aluminum
induron - machined from solid bar stock

price
calcutta - $169
induron - $99

So, is the okuma a far superior reel for less money? I'm totally
perplexed.

Thanks!
Rob
