I'm starting to think it can't be any worse. I personally find that ss reels load 120 with much less fuss than plastic. 120 is relatively fat but short so it's easier to gently wind it out from the middle than shoving it in from the end. Wide and thin base film like 120 really can't be pushed anywhere without crinkling. Conversely, I always had a horrible time with metal reels with long but narrow 36 exposure 35mm. I eventually gave up and went back to the Paterson Super System 4 plastic reels for my 35mm film. They work very well as long as they are dry when you load.
