Question about the new synthetic rope on a 10-story traction job

I was totally against using synthetic rope on the main lift lines, you know, just stuck on steel cables for safety. Then we put it in a building downtown last month, and the weight difference let us use a smaller machine room. What's the longest run you guys have seen with this stuff holding up?

What kind of project were you working on that needed steel cables? I mean, they're such a pain to deal with sometimes. Maybe it's just me but they always seem to get tangled.
