BTW, perhaps I'm being too hasty in my judgement of the Harken ESP. I have not actually seen one in person. It just *seems* to be made to a price point not to a specific purpose. If the MK-IV and ESP are constructed to equal quality levels but directed to racing / cruising respectively, then great. If however the ESP is built to a price first and purpose second, I'm less interested. Nothing wrong with a good price, but robustness is my priority for my particular application.
