Is the new snatch block designed specifically for synthetic winch rope or will it work for both synthetic and steel? You mentioned it has a 2-piece polymer pulley. I know they are achieving all sorts of wonderful new things through chemistry, but it seems like burrs in wire rope would wear out a polymer pulley. Does the 9000 model-number designate working strength, breaking strength or neither? What size cable will the sheave accommodate?

PS Small world, I just took delivery on 2 - standard 7,000 kg ARB Snatch Blocks this afternoon and they are hefty sons-a-guns. They will accommodate 1/4 thru 1/2 inch wire rope and have a working load of 15,000 lbs (breaking strength of 30,000 lbs). That's a whole lot more than my 12,000 lb winch and 3/8" cable can throw at them.
