Are the Shimano Tyrnos reels any good?

I usually use the calcutta 700 but was looking at the tyrnos reels (I think that's how its spelled). I'll put it on a Trevala rod and use it primarily for snapper and grouper. The calcutta reels are excellent but the tyrnos reels are cheaper and I belive they have a little better drag system. Any one with experience with these reels, your help and opinion would be greatly appreciated.
