    You can find pretty good winches for around 5 or 6 hundred.
    You would have to do a Google search to compare the retrieve rate yourself.

    I've been looking for something similar for quite a while. After reading lots of reviews it looks like the Smittybilt XRC-9.5 is the best bang for the buck, but I don't actually own one yet. From what I read, the new generation of XRC winches are much more waterproof, but if you're worried about it the H20 series can be had for not a whole lot more. I'd suggest looking at those as a starting point.

    I looked at the Gen2s today at the store and they appear to be a better fit for me. The syth line is also a welcome addition. Im just pondering between the 12k vs 10k right now as they are have the exact same dimensions.
