In the GOM the 665W two speed should handle all of your chunking and bottom fishing needs.
I believe the two new reels are mean't to fill a gap in higher priced ATD series and the smaller boss series. The ATD's will still remain the flagship model. As long as Accurate can keep these reels priced near the International's and Tiagra's I think they will take a nice market share from Shimano and Penn.
I would guess these reels aren't intended for jigging. The trolling market and cow tuna chunkers will go after these reels. Lug's will be a must, as most small to mid size boat owners use the stand-up style of fishing. It's my opinion that the little golf ball knob should be tossed off the drawing board for this size reel. The standard ATD knob should be used as the standard knob for these reels.
I also don't see the need for the cast control on this size reel. On the boss series I think it is nice. All it will do is just get in the way and take away a nice clean looking appearance on these larger capacity reels.
