The new Curado is a 200 size. It holds more line, but it's smaller than the older gray ones. Its also 2 ounces lighter.
The Chronarch 50MG holds less line than the new Curado 200's, but it weighs 5.7 ounces versus the Curado at 7.6.
On a side note, the new Chronarchs (also 200 size) don't come in the MG models any more (magnesium body), so they actually weigh the same as the new Curados. If I was going to choose between a new Curado or a new Chronarch, it would be Curado all the way... $179.99 vs. $299.99... they have the same spool capacity and weight, and I think they even have the same number of bearings.
