This^^^ holds our 19ft CC great in15-20mph winds. Ease of connecting to chartplotter as well. I don't know about the competition. Remote works great. Somewhat of a learning curve (for me) regarding foot control as it's pretty sensitive. I did wire it to a dedicated Blue Sea cut-off switch as I didn't wire up tm plugs on the bow.
