Looks like a less robust but more expensive version of a grcs. If you do tons of big rigging and can afford 2k get the original its awesome

wo wo wo,, i don't think it'll be as much as 2k,,, i've broken plenty of winches on boats and never blown 2k, well only once,,

 

re robustness,, I'd bet ALOT of money on it's strenght, JUST on the fact it's haarken.. to quantify this..... the volvo round the world yacht race,,,, imagine racing the formula one version of a racing boat around the world,,, now imagine taking that boat through the southern ocean,, for a few weeks,,, you CANNOT afford any breakages,,,, ALL the boats use haarken tackle and running gear....same goes for the vendee globe

 

 

here is a video in case you havent got the point yet...

the bollard is only £360 ish, so a plate and a ratchet strap wont be too much more i reckon, i would buy that just to mount on the wall above the frieplace.
