Shimano worries

I have I series reels had no problems.  Not looking to bash you but it sounds like to me you were looking to justify getting another CT from the guys on the board here when you had your mind made up already.  Especially since you didnt really list the "problems" you were worried about.  There was or is no common defect other than you have to oil the break but that is just part of maintaining your reels.  Not a big deal.  Anyway it's your money both Daiwa and Shimano make great reels.  Buy whatever makes you happy.

I first went to Bass Pro with the intentions of getting the CT but they were out of stock, I was set on the CT but impulsively decided to not wait for more CT's and get the curado because of the $150 price tag. I just wanted to get some other perspectives and input, I like to be really sure about a purchase before I make one and that is why an impulse buy has left me wondering.

Get your money back and get the CT from where I said to get it.  It's good deal unless BPS is selling it that low?

Both are great reels.  I don't think you're making a mistake either way.  However, going to the store with your heart set on one thing and leaving with something else will always cause doubt.
