Seawise Davit

I am looking at removing my current davit and replacing with something that allows access to the swimstep while docked or on the hook. I find our current set up can lift a heavy tender like no buddies business but doesn't allow access to the swimstep. I am looking at the Seawise as there Is a used one for sale locally. My tender sits close to 400# with the 20hp Honda RIB battery box and console which is very close to the max the Seawise is rated for. Thoughts on the Seawise quality or any other system that still allows for use of the swimstep? I am looking at a parts purchase of about $2k +/-.
