I'm sure you will justify spending the extra $ on a winch when your balls deep somewhere by yourself with a burnt out winch.
-but in saying that I have not heard how the vrs go so might fit your application

??? the equivalent runva from
www.winch.co.nz would back around $700 mark, well worth it as you will get good after sale service and parts too.

all good. Have a chat to mike, i've bought a few off him, delivery can take a few weeks but he knows what he's talking bout and a good one to have a yarn to if you not quite sure what winch will suit you. He even lent me one while i made up some bar work for a couple weeks to make sure it would work.
