Default Okuma Airframe vs Scierra Avalanche

Hi,
Does anyone know the difference between this 2 reels???
they look identical but read that they are not the same quality any idea???
I was really fond on the Okuma but I cant find any place where they do reel+spare spool. I found a place where they sell scierra reel spool and case for £30, but really want to find out quality wise...
Thanks

As far as I'm aware they're the same reel, I've had both and (appart from the name )can't tell the difference.

Sould also have said if you look on e-bay there's plenty of the Okumas at very reasonable prices.

The spools are interchangeable I tried this the other day.

For about £35 + shipping you can get an Okuma 7/9 Airframe + 3 spare spool and a case on the bay

They're identical reels, Okuma and Scierra are both part of Svendsen Sports group.
