I have a Selden GX 7.5 on a 29-2 that I use for my assym. Pros relative to sock/snuffer are: 1. can rig at dock 2. No need to go to foredeck to release or retrieve 3. Can gybe by furling and the gybing and unfurling, if you want to 4. Can get sail in quickly if wind picks up 5. Get more use of assym as a result of the above.
Cons relative to snuffer are: Boat bucks In summary it was a great upgrade. My forestay is set back from the stem and I'm able to attach the furler drum to the stem and not have it interfere with the genoa furler. Without that clearance you'd need a sprit which would make the package more complex to install, take more time to rig and cost more.
