If you don't have a budget look at the Daiwa Zillion 7.1:1. If you do have a budget I like the Revo STX better than the Curado E7. But you might check out the Smoke it has been getting a lot of hype lately.

Don't worry about not seeing a specific blog and someone calling you out on it. I have spent hours looking through these and still haven't read them all and definitely don't remember them all.
