I've changed over many Centerpin reels to the Ceramic hybrid ABEC 7s.

Although noisy,(bearing rumble) they sure do make a huge difference. No lube is required, so cold weather doesn't affect the spin.

Worth the effort and cost, IMO

Why would your Chronarch need new bearings? These bearing upgrades are more geared towards the float guys where bearings make a big big difference...

From a practical standpoint I really don't think there is any advantage for angling, I could see a tournament distance caster reaping some benefit , a steelheader that used one for float fishing or some one who regularly used extremely light lures, but I would think any advantage would be nullified by the antibacklash braking system. To gain any benefit you would have to have the system backed off all the way and a very educated thumb.
