interesting thought to mike. Like Brett said though, braid lasts forever. You can put 300 yards of PP on for what 30 bucks? Ive heard from multiple people over a couple boards that they've had the same braid on for 5+ years. Depending on your favorite mono you say 5-15 bucks to spool a reel. Multiply by the 5 years you get with the PP and it becomes a pretty cheap investment.
Also like you said you barely ever see the bottom half of the spool. I have also heard of guys flipping their line, respooling their reel by taking the top half thats been exposed to the elements and tying that off to the spool then cranking it on. That way the line on the bottom half that has barely seen sunlight is now the line on the top half that gets put to use.

My oldest spectra was 6years old, I lost it during a small yard sale at LJ the same day that this same line landed a 43lb wsb. I love spectra, all but two of my seven reels are spooled with 150yds of PowePro, not a yard more but possibly a few yards less.
