what kind of fishing do you plan on doing with the casting combo? casting reels take a bit of getting used to.. but once you are accustomed to them... you hardly look back at spinning setups. its kind of like driving.... your feet arent sensitive to the pedals at first (your thumb will be too loose or too stiff on the spool at first) but then you'll know what to do.

another tip on bird nests.. when you get one.. just engage the reel.. put your thumb nail on the spool.. and crank a few times. then disengage reel and pull out line. do this several times and the stuck area of the bird nest will work its way out. its worked for me 90% of the time when i cant manually pick out the bird nest by myself.
