Does Daiwa make a reel with SV spool that is similar in size to a curado 70?

I believe that is the steez ct sv. Very expensive but looks sharp. They seem to have more jdm models that are smaller.

alphas CT SV is super small
You might consider a lightly used Alphas Sv105. They can be had for well under $200 and as low as $140-150. The Alphas CT SV is another good choice but it will be over $200.
This is exactly what I was coming in to say. I've seen the CT SV pop up for less than $200 on eBay in used condition a couple times, for what it's worth, but they're usually gone fast at that price. The SV105 is a fantastic finesse casting reel.
Another reel to consider if you're just looking at finesse casting reels is a PX68 (a "Pixy"). They don't have an SV spool though which I know you mentioned wanting. Probably a better distance casting finesse reel while the Alphas SV models will handle lighter stuff with fewer headaches.
Re: leaders on T-wings (and feel free to ignore if this is sending things sideways too much): I've heard a lot of folks say this, yet I have no issues unless I'm trying to get a leader knot of 50 lb braid to 25 lb fluoro into the reel which admittedly does cause problems. I cast 16 lb fluoro leader knots to 30 lb J-braid through my T-wing reels all day long without issue.

I have a Sol that I use an Alphas SV spool in. It's a very lively little reel that can handle a wide range of baits. I use it for light balsa cranks, but could easily be a bfs in my opinion.
You can get the Daiwa alphas ct sv for under $200 from Amazon Japan. Just switch your settings to Japan on your Amazon app.
