I have a Santa Fe II and the winch works great. the only "complaint" would be size restriction with the easel - I am working on a painting that is 84" tall - I can rest the canvas on the base shelf area but it's still to tall to use the upper clamps - in fact I had to remove them since the were pressing on the inside of the canvas. To give the canvas something to rest on, I had to tape foam core across the top of the two vertical guides. I think this easel is great for canvases up to 6' or so.
At Peggy Baumgartner's workshop last year she gave a tour of her studio - she has the most jaw dropping exquisite easel I've seen - with a counter weight system that is incredible. I forget the brand, but if you don't mind spending more, I'd give her a buzz
