Just went to academy and got a shimano curado g6 for 99 bucks (special discount from mngr) The revo's are also on sale for 99, but they dont get any in until tomarrow. What are your personal opinions, should i take the curado back tomarrow and get a revo or keep what i have?

Im a Revo guy but thats just me...I havent thrown Shimano in many years. Maybe I should, I might be missing something!

I love the Revo SX. Great reel. It's a bit heavy but casts like a dream.
I prefer the Chronarch to the Curado but my E6 300 has held up really well.
I think I would go Revo, given the choices. More bearings, smoother retrieve, etc.
All my opinion.

The Bantam Curado is the only curado I fish with. Go with the Revo

I have always fished Abu Garcia, picked up a couple of Shimano Chronarchs early this year and just recently started fishing Lew's. If I could do it all over again you would find nothing but Lew's in my boat.

I just got a revo. Casted pretty good but haven't fished with it. I do like the curado, it seems lighter than the revo and hardly any backlashes, even on light lures into the wind.
