ok, the sailtec unit seems like a good choice, cheaper than the Harken and i think the lenght should allow a direct replacement for my old navtec. The harken is way longer and the backstay would have to be shorten, an other 250$ at southshore and a lot of trouble... No thanks.
I think the power and ease of use of the hydrolic wins. if i had a split backstay on a smaller boat i would definatly go for a cascade with good blocks and hi tech ropes. Thanks to the group.
