Thanks for the input.
To start with, no racing in my future, we are talking a heavy displacement cutter rig cruiser.
The greatest reason I could see to purchase one of these is price and owner installation. The major brands have quoted me in the range of $3500. More than twice the cost of the Aledo and many require that I replace or modify my 3 year old head stay and require a closed turn buckle and swedged fitting rather than the Stalock fitting and open turn buckle I have now.
All that being said, I will likely bite the bullet and buy a major brand..needing two units this will be a major part of the budget and I need to save anywhere I can. Looks like the watermaker will have to wait.

I have used a Profurl for 13+ years on my Spemcer 53 sloop and have
been very pleased with it, cruising and racing.
Do some more home work.
Regards,
Casey
