Of course not, Joe —

We all have our own styles of doing things.  That is what makes this site interesting. 

Your way is likely better than mine because of your gunsmithing and machinist background.

There is only one destination — but many routes to get there.

Fred: I was comparing apples to Oranges I thing, I was comparing the socket head screw to the screws that you are talking about. My bad. Sorry  :-[

Personally, I just like the hex socket because there is less chance of scratching a sideplate or frame when assembling, it is a quicker operation, and it looks cool...the SS is nice also.  A little stronger, and much better paired with upgraded sideplates and frames like Tom's, or Tib's, old Accurates, or others.  There is no goobering of the drive slots — we can torque it exactly where we want it — and it makes a neat and sanitary touch to our reels.

My sentiments exactly!
