Might want to get some info on it first. What I've been reading says it's not up to par. Of course, neither is the price, so for a light-duty recovery item, it might be OK. 8000 might be a bit light, I'm no expert.

LOL, I have to admit I only think of 80's, but you do have one as an avatar. You mean to tell me the 60 is that much lighter? How much does a 40 generally weigh in at? I was always curious of that when I owned one, but never checked it out (that was before this whole Internet-easy-info-thing).

The reviews I read on the Champion mentioned that they have a painfully slow line speed, and a permanent magnet motor which apparently is less than desireable. Don't take my word for it though, I don't know jack.
