RG, The big difference is material. Most Danforth clone fluke anchors are steel and the Fortress anchors are aluminum.

Given that the primary holding power of fluke anchors is provided by the area of the fluke once dug in, the aluminum provides the same area with less weight.

They also tout ease of disassembly, adjustable fluke angle and sharper points as Fortress benefits.
