Lewmar HX-1 windlass
I'm planning a powered windlass installation. I have been focused on a Lewmar Pro 1000 Horizontal Windlass (Power Up / Power Down) - but I have just come across Lewmar's HX1 range. It prices out in the same range as the Pro 1000. It appears to have very different components and engineering than the Pro 1000. I cannot find any online reviews of this item, however. There is a detailed description of the HX1 here:

Does anyone have direct experience with the HX1? Or thoughts about comparing it with the Pro 1000 Horizontal?
