I cant compare the Non platinum to the platinum. but I have a 12s and 10s Platinum. Physically they are the same size, my guess the gearing is different to get the extra pull power. The 10 is a little faster. They have been very reliable, never had a problem with the wireless signal, it works from over 100' away.
The clutch fail safes into the engaged position. The only way the clutch can disengage is if there is no load on the line.
Some wireless remotes don't like to jog, these don't have a problem.
The wireless accessory functions are kind of a gimmick. yes they work as advertised but they are not practical. You wont like pulling the remote out, turning it on, going to the accessory function just to turn your fog lights on or what ever else. Especially if its something you turn off and on a lot. The plug needed to plug into these plugs are standard 2 pin SAE plugs, you can get them just about anywhere.
About the only negative I have is the remotes battery will die in 3-4 weeks of not being plugged in. When charged the battery will last for dozens of winching sessions over a week of wheeling. But if its left to sit it will die. The good part is Warn sends a long charge cable, so the remote can be plugged in and immediately used while its charging from a dead battery.
The wireless function on the winch has an off/on switch, it will be a parasitic draw on your jeep battery if left on all the time. Not an issue you unless you park the jeep for a month with the winch powered on.
It has no option of a wired backup, some have expressed concern over this. It has a regular style contactor that controls it, it would be easy to install a wired plug port to have a back up corded remote or in cab controls. You would loose the clutch control, but in a pinch you can just power the cable out if needed. With a little more wiring you could also control the clutch with a wired switch, prolly not worth the hassle.
I think the over temp function is kind of a gimmick also. The temp sensor is not on the motor, its on the contactor. Maybe they have figured out they both get hot at the same time. But I would rather have it on the motor.
Over all a very good winch.
