Been there done that....
I've owned shimanos all my life and recently sold my 300e and ej's. I respect the others that have posted above, but for anyone to say that the shimano is better than either one (the lexa or the revo toro 50) must not have enough experience with them. I have and here is what I have found...
Lexas and the revo toro 50 free spool measurably better than the currado allowing a longer cast. Longer cast = covering more water. The new lexa paddle handles are giant... Diawa nailed it with that handle, theres no need for a power handle. As far as maintenance goes, I've owned the revo toro for a full year now and hasn't had to be serviced. Now consider this, I fish from a boat now, and Im not on the water. But seems that my currados needed service every couple of months even in the boat. I've bought 2 lexa's about 3 months ago, so the verdict is still out on the lexa. As far as line capacity goes, don't worry about it, at all. Fill the reel you buy with 65# power pro and call it done. 180-200 yards is more than enough to bass fish with.
I don't really worry about ratios. You're not going to notice a difference. We're not pulling on tuna here folks. We're talking about bass (for the most part). If anything, I want the higher ratios. I can always turn the handle slower.
Whatever you buy, don't buy the shimano.
I hope this helps.
