Default Bait Casting Reels

I'm currently in the market for 2-3 casting reels, in 7.2:1+ ratio. Recently a few reels in the 8.5:1 range have come out, and I'm intrigued by these, that's blazing fast, I could get a jig back in 3 seconds which would increase bait in the strike zone time by 5-7 or more minutes a day "I just made that up".

Here's what I currently throw as my main bass gear, I have other reels for swimbaits, and Alabama Rigs, but looking for a few more jig, texas rig, spinner or buzz bait reels.

Shimano Core 100MG
Shimano Core 51MG7
(2) Shimano Curado 200E7
Shimano Curado 201E7
Shimano Curado 201G5
Shimano Curado 200G6
Daiwa T3 1016

My Shimano's are 3 years old besides the G6 which is one year old. I've also thought about giving them a good cleaning, replacing the drags and putting them up for sale.

If I do sale I'm considering more Core's, and throwing in a few Chronarch's, and the Metanium also intrigues me. I'm not a must have Shimano guy I also like the Daiwa reels and the T3 1016HL is one of my favorites so I've been eying the Team Daiwa Zillion, and the PX Type R which is the Pixy and would be for baits less than 1/4oz.
