Switched winch cutoff soleniod

Hi! I Would like to add a switched cutoff solenoid for my talon 12.5k winch.

I have been looking at a blue sea systems - ML-RBS Remote Battery Switch with Manual Control - 12V DC 500A. I like this for two reasons, it has a manual cutoff as well as a remote switch. Or is that just crazy talk?

Does anyone have any experience using one of these for this purpose? Thoughts and impressions please

Of course other options are welcome too.

Price of less than $200 with solenoid, switch, cabling, and terminals is pretty much my limit to spend on this.

Wow, no one? I am surprised. Guess I'll just keep looking around.

What are you going to use it for, now? Is that just to cut power to the winch?

Thanks, exactly, dash switch power on/off, manual lockout on/off

That particular solenoid is rated 500A continuous (700A intermittent, 5 minutes) and the winch has a 530A Motor Draw. Understanding of course the usage one in its current iteration is a uh-oh-I-f'kd-up-bail-myself-out setup. So it is close to the high end of the solenoid, which is why I was curious if anyone had used one of these for this type of purpose.
