One advantage the copies have over the "real thing" is the original tirfors need a special cable that is made for or by Tractel - (the makers of the Origional Tirfor) which is slightly thicker than standard rope sizes and horribly expensive. The copies utilise common sizes of steel core cable, 800kg - 8mm, 1600kg - 11mm 3200kg - 16mm. The cable will most likey be the first thing to go, if you use it hard or abuse it, and while a real tirfor should handle abuse the cable will not. So the copies win in my book....
