Does anyone have any experiences with HP Reel Bearings? How do their ceramic hybrids compare to Boca Orange Seals?

They have an April special going on for another day, and ABEC 7 unshielded ceramic hybrid bearings for Shimanos are on sale for $25 shipped. They also have ABEC 7 stainless steel bearing for $15. They claim the steel bearing are "way better...smoother and faster" than the stock ABEC 3 bearings in the Curado.

Experiences? Opinions?

I have 4 reels with the HP abec 7 stainless steel bearings and I also have 5 reels with Boca abec 5 ceramic bearings. I like he HP's the best especially for the price.

I bought 2 sets of the ABEC 7 stainless steel bearings for my Curados. They spin a lot longer than the stock bearings for sure. As for performance, I'm having a bit of trouble adjusting to the speed of it. It's almost effortless to make a short distance cast, but I cannot get the bait further than I can on the stock bearings without back lashing for long distance.
