Any decent/good winches under $600?

Tried to search on this but didn't see anything thats recent.

Looking at todays winch market. Warn, Smittybuilt, etc, have prices aren't too bad. Some of the Warn lower priced models are now made in China so I imagine some of the other brands are as well. Are the nicer HF Badlands models really that bad?

Anyone recently found a good model for a decent price?

Looks like I may have to sell my Warn XD9000i due to the top support being tall and fits too close to the factory grille. I need something that has a lower profile. I hacked my last grille for my warn 12k and I'm not doing that this time. Can't re-locate the mounting holes either.

I have an Engo 12k with a synthetic rope. It’s been used a fair amount over the past few years and I don’t have any complaints.

Ive been using the Smitty built x20 12k on my trucks. Had a synthetic one on my square and a steel cable on my dodge. No issues at all with them. Can be had for under $600 if you get a sale or discount. Drop down to a 10K rating and the synthetic can be had for under $600 anyday. like $450 for steel $580 for synthetic
