Shimano Chronarch 200e7 vs. Abu Garcia Revo STX

I'm about to buy 2 of one of these reels. I can't make up my mind, i've heard great things about the revo and have not used the new chronarch yet. I own nothing but the curado 200e7s (green ones) and dhsv. Anybody got any opinions? i'm leaning Abu right now.

That Chronarch will pretty much beat the Revo every day and twice on Sunday in a head to head competition. Chronarch is like Cadillac and Revo is like nice Chevy.

Chronarch would be my choice, but I'm a Shimano fan. The STX's are pretty sweet though.

I was an ALL SHIMANO kind of guy before I got my Revo. Love it. I've caught some steelies, striper and lingcod on it that all ripped out drag for days. It's really a great reel.
That being said - get one of each.

Chronarch is deff the better reel, and I'm a huge Abu Garcia fan so that's saying something.

I bought a Revo for my Son for Christmas. He loves it. I've tried it out for a few casts and it is really nice. It is almost impossible to get a backlash in it.

Shimano by a long shot
Abu was the shite back when round reels were as good as you could get. Since I had plenty ambassadors, a revo seemed like a good upgrade.
By shimano loving brother laughs at me regularly for that decision.

Revo. The drag on the Revos is awesome and the new chronarch is just a repackaged old curado. If you were saying SX vs Chronarch, then Chronarch, but the STX is the best reel at its price point.
And, to boot, this place is selling them for $154
REVO STX
