That's probably the most popular combination up here on boats with pulpits that can accommodate two anchors. If for no other reason than these two anchor types stow well side by side.

Until earlier this year when it was sold there was a nice Nordhavn 50 on the next dock in from ours. The owners, who lived in Montana, took the boat each summer up to SE Alaska for several months. When I first saw it some twelve years ago it had a pair of anchors, a Bruce and a CQR. About a year after we got our Rocna I noticed that the Nordhavn no longer had the Bruce-CQR combo on the bow. Instead it had a single--- very large--- Rocna.
