That's not cheaping out......that's saving money for more mods. 
Mine worked great Jonas and saved me a couple times. Granted I don't expect it to last forever and it is slow, but for 300 it's hard to beat.
Ouch, well at least their taking care of it
Honestly, I would look at the line speed for both and make your decision. Sme of the winches pull slowly. That is one of the things I like about the Warn, the speed that it pulls. I would say if the Ironman pulls faster, go for it.
Oh, and I got my skid plate primed and painted on one side. I'll get the other side done tomorrow then I hope to bring Hachi to JD for some much needed armoring.

Bout time! I will check the line speed.
I can't find the line speed for the Ironman but it is marketed as "waterproof". The info for the badlands is as follows:
Volts: 12VDC
Horsepower: 6
1st layer line speed: 16.4 fpm (no load), 9.1 fpm (4000 lbs.), 7.6 fpm (8000 lbs.),5 fpm (12,000 lbs.)
Drum diameter: 2.5"
Gear ratio: 235:1
I have read that some people have had issues with the badlands not being water resistant but I have also read the same thing about the Engo. The reality of it is that the only way I am going to own a winch is if it is under $500 so I'm not sure that at that price point one is going to be that much better than the other. I can't seem to find to much about the Ironman except on Australian forums and they are making comparisons to much more expensive winches. Any info is welcomed.

Badlands is alittle faster, but not by much and only for the first couple layers

Ironman is an Aussie company, isn't it?
Matt, is yours still working now? If so, Jonas I would just keep what you got and call it good.

Yes, it still works fine.
The way I understand it is that Ironman is an Australian company and the winches were developed and tested in Australia but I think they are built in...uhm,cough, cough, uh china, cough.
Matt, I guess what I meant was have you tried it since you guys came back from HP?
Jonas, that's no real surprise about where they are manufactured......
