I had a look at one in the nearest Angling Direct shop at lunchtime and nearly bought it. Then had a search online this evening at work, saw this offer and had to go for it.
Here's a noob question for you. I've got some 4lb fluro that i use for leaders when i'm using tiny lures. My mainline for the lure setup is 6lb braid which is so much nicer than the olden days mono of my youth. Now, this reel is for my light ledgering setup. Do i just fill the reel's spool with the 4lb fluro when it arrives or is there something else i should be doing?

I know next to nothing about flouro. What I would ask is what size fish do you expect to target. A baitrunner is usually associated with lumpier fish usually carp etc.
If lumps are in the offing maybe 4lb is a bit light? Perhaps 6lb might mono might fill the spool nicely and this would give the option of a lighter hooklength if required?
Bulk spools are ideal for the first fill. When the spool empties a bit with wastage a different line of choice can be added.
Chub to 3lb and a bit, trout to 2lb, those are the biggest lumps i've had ledgering since i started up again.
