Dave - If you do your own splices, Sta-set X can be a challenge.
Frankly, I think it's *great* rope, and very strong. I used it for my
halyards on my last boat, and recall that after I finished the splices I
swore I'd hire somebody next time. I think most riggers don't like it
because you can do a splice in some of these newer ropes --that have
basic double braid construction -- in minutes, while the linear Vectran
core of the Sta-Set X requires a different kind of splice.

I agree with the observation about the Sta-set X being stiff. That is something
that I wouldn’t mind changing but the price delta would be the deciding factor.
