I just ordered one.
My wife has lost interest in weekend sailing, so I'm single handing more and was thinking about installing cockpit controls for the anchor. This is way better. It's even cheaper when you consider the cost of the wires back to the cockpit. Not only that, it will be easier to install (I hate routing wires).
It will go well with the chain counter I'm building around an Arduino micro-controller (I started this project when I discovered it would cost $400 for one even though my windlass is "chain counter ready".
