I have 4 Curados and thought about buying a different reel but in the end I stuck with the Curado. I have'nt tried any of the Quantoms. I've tried some of the mid range Daiwas ($50-120) but liked my Curado more.

I do not want to sound like a Shimano whore but I will not buy anything else.
I have had Abus, Diawas, Quantums, Mitchels, Bass Pro, and Cabela reels and while they are all very fishable they do not seem to have the duribility of the Shimanos. I know that I have posted this before but I still use my very first Shimano baitcaster that I got in 1988, it still works like a champ and I have never had it serviced or cleaned. Last year I bought one each of the low end Shimano baitcasters (Castillo, Crestfire) and have been impressed with them. Now they are not Curados but they are very useful reels. The other thing I like about Shimano is their coustomer service. I recently sent my older spinning real to them and they fixed it no charge and it was back in my hands in just over a week. If you like the shimanos I would stick with them. I am thrilled that Santa brought me my first Curado this year, I am sure I will have it for a very long time. Lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what have-yous

I'm right there with you Joe!
Each year these companies produce new reels, right handed. The demand for those reels in a left hand model is high. Later in the year they produce left hand models, but very few. They sale out faster then they can make them!
It's the same thing every year, no lefties!!! By the time they have them in stock, there is a new model on the market, but again only in right hand x(
But I'm gonna hold tight for the Okuma's. I was told by a little bird that the lefties would be available later this year. They will be replacing all my curado's!

Jared, if you want a great reel for a good price, I really like my scorpion 1000/1001. They'll run you around $150, but I've seen them go for less on ebay brand new. You could probably get it for around $135. They cast and pitch 1/8 to 1/4 ounce weights well, but can still handle the heavier stuff. I'll show you one this weekend if I do the tourny. Check out this URL: www.japantackle.com
Come'on todd, I know you're spending $18.00 on lures, why not $250.00 on a reel, at least with the reel, you can be sure a bass isn't going to break it off ;) Go big or go home.
