I cannot provide an opinion based on experience with synthetic rope. I have read discussions on here about it as I will need to replace my cable soon. Here's my opinion on cable- it's very strong and if you treat it correctly, will do what is rated at for sure. I personally would not replace my cable with synthetic until the cable became unsafe (mine is getting close). I choose to use cable over rope because I have friends who work offshore and can get me a good deal on it, as cable is all they use on the boats.

I am sure there are some synthetic users here who can tell their experiences and the pros and cons of this type of wire.
