Seldén CX Furler for Asymmetrical Spinnaker

I currently have a GX25 for a 125 sq ft asymmetrical spinnaker on a 41 ft cruising sailboat. Getting on in years, I’m having trouble carrying the whole package (sail, furling drum, anti-torsion line, continuous furling line, tandem block, head swivel, adjustable tack swivel) fore and aft to rig and stow because of all the weight.

The sailmaker is suggesting using a CX15 instead. The idea would be to leave the furling drum, continuous furling line and tandem block rigged on the boat so only the sail, anti-torsion line and swivels would have to be carried fore and aft.

This makes sense to me, but I thought the CX was designed for straight luffed code 0s, with the anti-torsion line sewn into the luff. Would it work with a normal, curve-luffed asymmetrical spinnaker with an independent anti-torsion line?

Thanks!

Correction 2 (I’m not able to edit the post): The proposed system is a CX45, not CX15!
