Me too. Tost aerotow weak links are pretty good as well - I thought
just about everyone had gone over to them in place of rope. Mind you,
I knew one club which put a good stout length of rope in parallel with
the Tost link "because they are so expensive if they break and we lose
half the connector."

Ho hum.

I don't recall having seen a TOST aerotow weak link in use in the US.
Perhaps some are using them.
