For those that have both, does the faster gear ratio have less torque than the 7:1.1?
In my Daiwa line ups the 7.9:1 reels feels exceptionally good when retrieving s/b

Re: Bantam MGL 8 vs. 7
I haven't personally compared the two, but I would assume that with this frame and gearing pair, there would be no lost torque between the ratios.

Also helps that the 8 speed has a larger handle. I think the 7 and 6 have the 84mm. Wish they would get away from that, like they did with the Chronarch MGL, it has all 90mm and the XG gears get a 96mm.
The Bantam XG will have a 6mm longer handle and slightly bigger knobs too, the ones from the Curado K I think. This should compensate the slight torque loss from a slightly higher IPT.
