When considering a deviation from the tested norm in lifeline materials,
we
should ask ourselves "Do you feel lucky today?".

Perhaps, but rule makers are pretty conservative types. I'd rather have a
synthetic line that I can see than a vinyl coated s.s. wire that could be
rusting away sight unseen. It's actually cheaper AND lighter AND stronger
for spectra 1/4" v.s. 3/16" s.s. wire. I like having higher safety factors
that the line gives me.
