No experience with that particular rope, but I have used Bluewater ropes (BW II) and liked them - quite good handling. Just to add to your options, Inner Mountain Outfitters offers dynamic ropes of various diameters (PMI) by the foot http://www.innermountainoutfitters.com/pmi-dynamic-rope-by-the-foot/ The 8.1mm and 8.6mm might be worth considering.

I am thinking about a similar sized rope for comparable applications...

How is it that diameter is measured in millimeters and length by the foot? Someday maybe we will go metric like everyone else….
