Scope is definately an important consideration. However if you are in an area where every home owner has a morning out, and docks etc. All of which have there own unique scope, it is difficult to provide proper scope with out presenting the danger of collisions.
Being able to use truely optimal scope only really works in a laid out morning field.
The issue we have with my uncles situation, is that to prevent interfearing with nieghbors moorings, and dock access, and of course our own dock access, we are not able to provide proper scope. Hence we have the issue with the block getting dragged in very severe storms.... it never drags far but we do notice it has moved.
