If I buy an XRC8 comp winch I get 100' of 3/8" Dyneema sk-75 rope, fairlead and the winch for $450
If I buy an XRC8 steel cabled winch, I get the winch ($299.00) and have to buy the rope ($200.00 from rugged ridge), the fairlead ($25.00 to $50.00)= $550.00
Both are the same type of rope - Dyneema sk-75.
Is this the same type of rope that masterpull uses for its "winch rope":

That's 85ft of 3/8 rope for $306.94 plus shipping with no hook as far as the pictures show. Quite a bit more expensive.
Saw the rugged ridge stuff in person yesterday, and honestly it looks/feels fairly high quality.
