Re: LOFRANS X2 OR MAXWELL ...

Both are in the top 2 of their class.
Buy the cheapest.

I specify anchor systems for a job so know winches very well and get feedback from the users all day everyday. If I needed a winch that size the decision would be between those 2. I'd probably lean 51% to 49% towards the Maxwell.
