Maxwell Windlass recommendations


Replacing my Maxwell Freedom 800 horizontal windlass , (no loner made) on my 1997 355 aft. Leaning to just going with the newer Maxwell rc8 model that is the suggested freedom 800 replacement by Maxwell.

1. Could I use the Maxwell rc 6 version (cheaper), would that be underpowered?
2. Also thinking of going with a vertical windlass so everything is above deck. Easier mounting and maintainer? Any disadvantages to vertical instead of horizontal?
3. Also considering lewmar 700 horizontal. ?

This would be a fresh installation as the windlass area on my deck has been re done and glassed.

Any thoughts appreciated.
