the type & weight of anchor.

If your experience is limited to your CQR and/or the other old types,
which it almost certainly is if you stick with the plow, it is no
surprise that you think this.

Naturally care and attention, guided by expertise, are important
factors. But this sweeping comment is like saying it doesn't matter
what car you drive, no difference between a Corolla and a Ferrari -
all that matters is the ability of the driver.

The nice thing about feedback from "early adopters" of the new
generation anchors is that those users typically DO also have
experience with the older types, be it plows or claws or some
variation. The resulting feedback is thus doubly valuable, because it
is COMPARATIVE.
