yes there is a difference. the construction quality of the Rocna is far higher and the performance in numerous tests shows the Rocna as a slightly better performer.
I actually own a Manson Supreme and I just ordered a Rocna. I'm not saying the Manson is a poor anchor but there were enough differences that I ponied up and bought the real McCoy. I can't wait till it arives to test it out! For me I think an anchor is cheap insurance and want the best anchor money can buy. Through my thorough testing of all my anchors so far the Rocna design concept has been best!
Here's a link to a home made video I made one day while I was waiting for sailing season. It shows a Manson setting inless than four feet even when reversed to pull direction in a very, very hard packed intertidal zone. My guess is the Rocna sets in two feet....
