Most of the ropes that I've owned have been bluewater. They are fine. I have yet to notice a huge difference between ropes - they have all kept me from dying. I have a Bluewater Accelerator that lasted a full 3 years of pretty constant use and I retired it more for piece of mind than any other reason.

I liked mine. A rock fell and chopped 45 ft. off. Still use it somebut, got new lead rope. Don't try to "accelerate" on the way down it. :lol:
