IIRC the Barient 28 is about equivalent to a Lewmar 48 or 54 in terms of power ratio.
Have you thought about converting your Barients to self tailers. Winchmate makes a conversion kit for $500 - 550 per winch. Practical Sailor gave a favorable review and I've talked to a couple of people who have them and like them.
