So are the Warn Premiums worth the extra $50 or are you just paying for a name?

So are you saying the Superwinch ones are best? I heard rumours that the AVM are the same as the Superwinch (i.e. come from same factory)

Not sure, it all depends on weight? Have no idea on what they weigh either, maybe someone here will be able to approximate.
