Fineline Rope??

Has anyone had any experience with Fineline rope from New Zealand? I am in Thailand and needing some line for halyards.
I was looking at West Marine, New England rope. The cost per foot is a huge difference. But when i look at the specs they seem the same..
Any thoughts?

I bought some Fineline doublebraid 6 months ago. Quality looks good so far.

Where are you using it? Do you happen to know the rope code? There seems to be several sleeves they are offering.

I'm not sure on the details but here's a stab.
Classic yacht braid for a Genoa furling line
Advantage dyneema/polyester for running backs.

The splicing directions they had for the dyneema/polyester just didn't work for me. I used ones for core splices that I have done before and the splices went fine.
