So I was looking around online and found 2 good deals on winches.

A couple years old Milemarker 8000 lb. winch (PE8000, not the newer PEC8) with an extra fairlead, extra cable, extra hook, and winch mount plate, wireless winch remote, that needs a "winch switch" for $200

or a Ramsey Patriot 9500 with the integrated solenoid and all that jazz that is about 2 1/2 years old, looks great, for $375.

Which is the better buy?? And why?

 

I've never dealt with Ramsey, but I buy Mile Marker winches myself and have never had any issues, other than their fairleads rust easily.
I think the MM would be a winner, but let's see what some people say about the Ramsey...

 

Yea, I am curious as to those that have the Ramsey seeing if it is worth the money?? The only complaint I can find online about the Mile Marker is that it's slow. I mean $200 vs. $375 is quite a bit of difference, but if it's going to be a noticeable one then maybe it's worth it, right? As much as I want a Warn M8000, I just am not sure if I can justify paying close to $600, by the time its delivered...

I mean 200 vs. 375 is still a ways off from 600, and I might be able to negotiate the Ramsey winch down a bit. (I hope)

 

Heres a pic of the Mile Marker (forgive the vehicle it's hooked up to)


And here's the Ramsey
