I'm new to this boat, and I love the fact that upgrading is conservative, but the boom and traveller blocks are absurd. Harkens are the same price and move no faster-they're just more reliable. I've lent people snatch blocks for failed ones. It's not about advantage, it's about safety. I've never had a harken block fail in 25+ years on a Lightning.
