Superwinch TS9500SR (synthetic rope) or the TS11000 (steel rope/cable)

It looks very much like the Harbor Freight 12K Badlands winch:

I have the Harbor Freight winch for 3 yrs now. It got me out of a scrap last winter and it worked great (2nd year after installation). The key to making this winch last is to re-pack and grease the internals before installing for first use. There is a long thread about this winch here:

Looking at the specs puts this below the 12k badlands. Fully wrapped with line the speedmaster is around a 1000 lbs less capable and needs 360 amps to pull 13k
I like the badlands winches and I am debating between the 12k Badlands and 12k smittybuilt right now. This however does not appear to be in the same park.

One of the reasons I went with the Superwinch...was the ability to rotate the spool release lever housing. I'd looked at the Badlands, at a friends house, (and similarly rebranded models, Champion, BullX, etc, etc...) and couldn't see where/how to rotate the lever so it faced forward.
Talked to the folks at Superwinch and all you have to do is remove end cap screws, gently pull the end cover back a couple mm and turn to the location you desire...but DO NOT pull the end cover to far...or your going in deeper for repairs.
Time will tell...if this Superwinch will hold up to my expectations.
