used t be that faster reels didnt have the winching powers of the slower reels, and the gears were finer to create the speed.
Today much of that has change in most fast reels use a drop down gear box to use bigger gears with the same size teeth as the slower one.
Gives you the best of both worlds.

The lexa is a decent reel for the money, but if looking to step it up a notch the Abu Revo NACL is the reel to look at, much smoother with more drag
And it comes standard with both , a double paddle handle as well as a power handle.
so in the long run the price of the 2 become a lot closer.

It makes the Lexa feel like a coffee grinder
