If you like the Calcutta, I'd recommend the Bantam 50 - but if you prefer direct drive - the (discontinued) Bantam 1000 Plus is my #1 choice. It's a little lighter than the 50 and has bearings instead of bushings. You can still pick some up new on Ebay eg. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1979614143
I also had Ted's put a direct drive button on some 50's, but I think they have discontinued doing that. Shimano still produces the Bantam 1500 - which is similar to the 1000, but with a clunky line counter added: http://fish.shimano.com/baitcasting/bantam/bantam.html
