How much does the spoil capacity for this reel get reduced when using the snap in spill converter

I'm not sure about the 200 and haven't seen any specs on this, but on the Bantam Mag 250SG / 250SG XHS I think it reduces the capacity a lot. I don't use the converters on any but one of my Bantam 250s.  Some of those reels came with an aluminum V or modified spool and didn't need a converter, but I think most all I own, including the 10s, 1000s and 350s, have the full capacity spools for those reel sizes, which is what I usually look for anyway.

...The reduction in capacity is particularly noticeable after I make my longest possible cast on the reel with the spool converter.

Not sure if this is helpful, but here are a couple spare Bantam Mag Plus 250SG XHS spools for comparison.
