Exclamation What to choose...

After getting the new, 2008 Cabela's Spring Master Catalog(375 pgs.), I started looking at reels and am now highly confused. I want the Shimano Curado, I know this much, but I don't know if I want the 100, or 200 series. The 100 series, specifically the CU101D, the left-handed model, holds 85 yds of 12LB, but I want equal to 10LB braid, so no deal here. It has a 6.2:1 GR, and weighs 7.4 Ounces, with 4+1 bearing for $199.99. The next reel I'm looking at is the CU201DHSV, once agian, the left-handed model, holds 155 yds. of 10LB, and I will put 10LB equal braid, again, no deals. It weighs 9.8 Ounces, has 5+1 bearings, and is also $199.99. The second reel has 12LB of drag; the first, 10LB. So, my problem...

Should I buy the first one and sacrifice GR for weight and line capacity, or should I buy the second one, sacrifice weight and get more bearings and speed(7.0:1)? This is a frog rod, what do you think? Fast reel/heavy reel or slower reel/lighter reel?
