I have 2. They are super smooth and well built, just like their baitcasters, but I actually prefer the Black Betty 6061 reels. They are a bit heavier and because of their shape they tend to make a smaller rod twist in your hand.
I have bought most of my 6 BB 6061 13 Fishing reels for around $50. Check Gander Mountain and eBay religiously. The deals are out there.
