Update: The 200E7 is the best d**n reel ever built.

^ New Shimano spokeswoman :.

Use it and tell me I'm wrong.

d**n it Burley, you have about talked me into one.

I have never tried Shimano before and this seems like the best place to start.

It better be good. They had a lot of making up to do after they subjected us to the D's.

I'm glad somebody finally said it

Love my Abu's, but I almost agree with that statement.

What was wrong with the Ds?  Anything, and I mean anything, was an improvement over the Curado B - IMO the worst piece of **** ever perpetrated on the fishing world  .   I thought the D was a fantastic reel - adressing all of the deficiencies in the B.  Heck, they were good enough that I bought three, and even kept one.  After looking at the E, I think the D was the best of Curados to date.  

Different line, different people. I have no idea which reel would cast the furthest. If you traded rigs and got the same results then its a maybe.
