Contrast the two sets of definitions below. While "take issue" and "disagree" can be used interchangeably in some cases, disagree has other definitions that are much stronger than is possible with "take issue."

take issue, to disagree; dispute: He took issue with me on my proposal for a new advertising campaign.
