Default BBB vs proof coil chain

I want to replace the old 3/8 proof coil chain that's been on the boat
for 31 years and around the world. I'm wondering about switching to
BBB 3/8 - if I can get a gypsy for BBB from Ideal.

they are the same WLL 2650 pounds but the BBB is a bit heavier per
foot 1.4 vs 1.7.

Any real reason to switch?

What you really want is 3/8 HT, also known as G4, G40 or G43. It
has twice the WLL at about 5400 lbs.

I bought mine from these guys and got free shipping:
