Default Fortress FX v. Rocna Anchor

All the talk about the Rocna anchor started me reading and looking.
There are some very compelling data the Rocna sets fast and holds
well. However, Ive noticed that all the tests Ive seen were all
similar sand type bottoms. Here is my question:

If anchoring in sand bottoms (hard, loose, sand/mud) why would I chose
the Rocna instead of an anchor ...


It does look that the Rocna is one of the better anchor designs.

Doe anyone know how it behaves on grounds with sea grass?

Most trouble for not setting with my current anchor stem from the fact
that as soon as it drags, it will fill up with sea grass and not hold at
all.

TIA
