as far as the strenght of chain, From an engineers standpoint, it would have to be inspected quite frequently, load tested, etc. Also, any nick, no mater how small, will significan'ty weaken the link. Also, steel corodes fairly quickly (corosion is the change of one material to another due to environment. translation: more rust = less metal = lower strenght) Wear of a strap can be verified w/ a visual inspection. and a strap can be replaced cheaper than chain.
Just my .02

There is always the reason, a blue shirt needs the Khaki to dissapear to get things done. I still love the chain and it my heavy one is like 10 years old and my one back on the farm is like 20 years old going strong, rust and all. If you want to compare I think I can get the riggers to compare my chain with anyone elses strap or I might be able to get them to weight test it for me, I will see what I can do.
