Default Viper Elite winches

Has anyone seen or used these? I have been researching winches and came across these. It seems Viper has been well known in the ATV winch market for awhile but is fairly new to the 4X4 market. They just started the Elite series at tha start of this year and they seem very impressive. They are completely sealed and are fully submersible. I have no plans to be doing any underwater winching, but that just makes them all the more weather resistant. I have been reading on a bunch of forums and people seem to be really happy with them. And the Viper people are very active on the forums answering questions and solisiting feedback. So far I am very impressed with the company and how they are working with their customers.

Here is their site:

Here is a comparison between their 10,000 lb Elite and the WARN 9.5 Thermometric. Pretty impressive, especially considering the price difference:

I think this is the winch I am going to go with when I do it. I will get either the 10,000 or 12,000. I'm going to try for the 12,000.
