Okuma Fly Reel

[Flyfis4fun]

Has anybody tried the Okuma Sierra Fly Reel?   I am building a new rod and 
don't have a reel for it.  The budget can't afford the $100+ reel I would 
like so am looking for a lower cost alternative.  I have read good things 
about the Okuma Sierra on the Recreation Outdoors Fly Fishing newsgroup (one 
guy even compared it to the Battenkill) but have yet to see one in person.  
Any of you folks own one or looked at them?
