Have the Epi9 for a year now. Have pulled about 2 dozen times. Synthetic line. No issues or worries. Pulled a Range Rover multiple times with a broken front axle uphill for about 500 yards, kept asking for more.

Yeah, they're supposed to be among the best. I have the Warn M8000 but only because of the screamin deal I got on it. The Superwinches are supposed to be good.

Superwinch Epi9 here - no problems what so ever. I'm switching over to synthetic rope shortly (thanks again Bruised and 4WD.com). If I had it to do again, I would have gotten the Epi9s, with the synthetic rope already installed.

The smallest Superwinch I'd get is the EP/EPi 9, don't go smaller.
