How much weight savings is there between the synthetic cable over the OEM Warn steel cable?
Am I correct that I will lose about 25' of length if I opt for the syn cable over the OEM steel on a 9500 winch? It seems like the Syn cable would allow for more cable to fit on the spool since it would lay better.

About 40lbs.
You won't necessarily be able to spool on more synthetic rope. But, you can buy and extra 50-100 foot length with loops and use it as an extension. Just keep it wound up and stored in the back.

If it wasn't for a synthetic line, I may not be here today
last year we snapped a cable which would have definately come through my windshield.
I say go synthetic all the way!!!

I have a 100 foot synthetic X-Line line, red safety clasp and aluminum fairlead rated for a 9.5ti winch for sale. It has never been spooled.
