Only lots of time and experience by good men and skippers like Tom White will indicate what anchor is best. And one's own experience is even more golden that that.

But I'm very ready to see the test results. Even the bad tests are interesting and contain information worth learning or observing and this is going to be a good test.
Don't forget... "Fortress" is basically Danforth design, with small improvements.
