I've fished both and the stow/deploy mechanism on the Terrova sold it for me. I have a bad lower back and my old PD V1 killed me pulling it in. Keep the shaft lubed on the Terrova with Armor All and it glides up. You can use the foot pedal and iPilot both on the Terrova at the same time whereas you have to look for an aftermarket adpart box to use both controls on the PD2. I never use the foot pedal since purchasing iPilot so that wouldn't swing me either way for the fishing I do.
