There will be a lot of opinions but I say hell yes. It is a discontinued reel but the spools are readily available. I have a lot of Ross reels and I think they are awesome. Wicked drags and silky smooth. I feel that you would be pressed to find a better reel for cheaper. That being said, you should consider the condition and make sure the line wt range is appropriate for your type of fishing. That is a good deal.
