Tom,
I grew up with spinning reels too, and this whole conventional reel thing was new to me.
One thing I learned, no matter how good the fisherman, they all get a birds nest once in a while.
I was out yesterday, and I used for the first time my curado 300ej. its a bait caster, but the same concept, and cost a pretty penny. I have never casted a smoother set up in my life...but I still had a couple of birds nest. I had 100 ft of mono top shot, and almost every cast I casted into the braid (with a wax wing too). I have heard that the Talica IIs are amazing casters for a level drag.
The one thing I would be concerned about is making sure you get an aluminum ( i think thats what they are making them out of) spinning rod if thats the way you go and you spool it with braided.
And for the people that knock the wax wings, they are missing out. Those things swim like nothing else. Its amazing.
